Samuel's Christmas Preshool Program

Samuel's preschool had a Christmas program. It was really cute. The children in Sam's class rang bells, sang songs and recited poems. Samuel was not feeling well that weekend, but he still did a great job. He told us he was a little scared because of all the people. We could not believe that our little boy was up there doing his first Christmas program. The last few years have gone by so fast. Having the children is the best thing in the world. They bring so much joy and excitement into our lives. And, celebrating the birth of Jesus with our children is the best.

Craft day at Sam's preschool

Samuel's preschool had a special craft making day. The boys had a blast making all of the crafts. We had glitter, glue and icing everywhere.

Taking Grandma to the train station

My mom recently came for a visit. The boys and I took her back to the train station. They enjoyed seeing all of the trains.

Family pictures

Here are a few family pictures we took in front of the tree.

New Baby on the way

We had our ultrasound recently and everything looks great with the baby. We found out that we are having a girl. We are all very excited.

Getting a Christmas Tree

This year we decided to buy our Christmas tree at a farm where we could cut it down our selves. The boys loved this! They each took their own little saw to help daddy. It was a lot of fun.

Visit with Great-Granny

Great Granny spent Thanksgiving day with us. She brought gifts for the boys which they loved. It is always nice to spend time with family.

Leaves

The boys have been busy helping Daddy rake the leaves.

And busy helping Daddy play in the leaves...

The boys love to gang up on John. They really do keep him busy. John is so great with Sam and Tim. He teaches them how to work hard and also how to have fun. John is very patient with them. They saved the leaves to make a huge pile at the bottom of the slide. Both boys had a blast sliding down. But, I think more than anything, they just loved doing it all with Daddy. They love their Daddy!

Halloween

The boys enjoyed dressing up for Halloween this year. They helped hand out candy for the first part of the night and then we took them around our neighborhood. They thought handing out candy was neat and they both enjoyed walking around to the neighbors' houses. Samuel was a doctor and Timothy ended up being a dinosaur.

Daddy's catcher mask

John played baseball growing up and was a catcher. He still has his old equipment. Samuel has fun trying it on and loves seeing his daddy wearing it.
