Holiday Fun Part 3

We took a trolley with our 'twin family' to see the Highland Park lights. It was entertaining (Ady was on antibiotics for strep and not feeling 100% but still wanted to go) but we all agreed a ride around the neighborhood in our car would have been just fine. Either way, the kids got hot chocolate again so they were happy. :)

Ady had her Holiday party with her dance team where they had a squishmallow exchange...

We also finally took Ady to see The Nutcracker! We've been waiting until she was old enough as it's tough to sit through a 2 hour ballet where there is no speaking but she didn't take her eyes off the stage once! 

Will got to perform as a shepherd in the Children's Christmas Eve service and although some of the songs were hard to memorize he nailed the hand movements! 

Our Holiday card this year...

Decorating gingerbread houses with Uncle Bean in town over at Gramma and Poppas...

More Holiday Fun

More movies with hot chocolate and marshmallows...

Our annual golf cart ride around to see the neighborhood lights...

Dance moms Holiday dinner and gift exchange...

Will's fall field trip to see the Snoopy production put on by the high school...

Our annual Polar Express party which we catered toward just Will's friends this year. He wanted to invite his entire class and between that and baseball, soccer and neighborhood friends that was enough! This year we did cookie decorating and it was short and sweet like always!

Will's sweet teacher even took time out of her day to come and see her little friends...

Then Will had his class party which was a success! As co-room mom we planned the best games and treats and fun!

My awesome friend and co-room mom!

He wanted to wear this hat basically all of December which made my heart so happy...

This one had Holiday dress up week at dance and parent observation. Love seeing her shine and do something she loves!

Her class party was just as fun...

Still working on that advent puzzle!

Prestonwood Baptist - The Gift Of Christmas

I saw some pictures from this amazing show last year and knew I wanted to take the family this year. It was absolutely spectacular, like Broadway show level of visual entertainment that knocked us off our feet. I'm taking flying people and camels and zebras and all the craziest lighting and visual effects. It was just so awesome to tell the story of the birth of Christ with such a stunning performance.
