Mom's Morning
Jack & I went to Mom's Morning at his preschool this morning...It was a blessed time to be together & do crafts! We went to 6 classrooms & did a different craft in each room. I love that our preschool offers so much for families to be involved! Thank you to Jessica for watching Colby so I could go!
Jack with his twin friends McKenna & Kayla...You might remember the hug at the end of last year's preschool :) Sadly, the twins are moving & won't be going to our preschool anymore :( We did exchange addresses to they can be invited to Jack's party :)

Texas Weekend
Last weekend I went out to Texas for 3 days to visit my old college roommate, Wendy. She is newly engaged & she asked me to be here Matron of Honor! So we picked out bridesmaid dresses & talked weddings all weekend! It was a lot of fun...I ate a ton of good Texas food too! It was so great to visit & meet Justin! Here we are watching the USC/UCLA game...Fight on!!!!!
Wendy & Justin...

I am normally not a dog person, but I fell in love with their dog Sadie!! She is about 1 year old & really sweet. She is a beagle/boxer mix!

The Christmas Story
Last Thursday, Jack's preschool put on "The Christmas Story." It is hard to put into words what an amazing night it was...probably one of my favorites since we had our kids. It was amazing to see 4 year olds learning about the true meaning of Christmas. And it was as amazing to see my shy boy up there saying his lines & singing! I was so proud!!! It was extra special because Nana & Poppy came down & completely surprised Jackson!!! They mean to so much to him & it just made the night. Thank you for coming Nana & Poppy!!

Jack took this picture of Nana!

Jack's first role was the Drummer Boy...here he is walking out onto stage...

Here he is about to start drumming.........

And the actual drumming! This cute little girl sang "The Little Drummer Boy." She was so cute!

Then Jack walked up the aisle & did his Architect line..he was carrying blueprints! His line was, "I'm an architect as you can see...making plans to follow Jesus....do you want to join me?" So cute :)

At the end the entire preschool sang "Our God is an Awesome God." They had hand movements & all :) You can see Jack in the back right with the yellow hat on.

Sweet Kittens
Our kittens love the Christmas tree! We find them there most of the day :) These were taken on 3 different days.....they just love it! How sweet are they!??!

Christmas Lights!!!
When I got home from Texas last night, the boys had put up all the outside decorations & lights! They added a few new things as a surprise too! It looks so fun :)
Here is the house with the flash off...It's pretty cute the way Kaleb set it all up. There is the lighted path, leading to the train, which takes you to Santa :) Very cute Daddy!

The house with a flash....

The boys added these snowflakes to the house!

Colby went to each light bulb & was telling us which color it was....He doesn't have it all down yet, but he's wanting to learn!

Cookies with Nana
When Nana & Poppy were here last week, the boys made cookies with Nana. They made the dough, frosting, and then decorated cookies! They had a lot of fun!

Enjoying their cookies!!

Christmas Photo Frames
Every year the boys & I make photo frames to give out to family & friends..It's become a bit of a tradition for us! This year we made Santas, and it was BY FAR the easiest one we've done! They usually come with a million pieces. Here is Jack Jack making his Santas...he was really good at it this year!
Jack's finished products!

Colby was mostly into popping the stars out for me, but then he made one of his own (this is the one I'll be keeping for myself this year!)....

...the one-eyed Santa :)
