Christmas Festivities and Tradations

I'm so excited that Christmas is here! Well, almost! I'm excited throughout the whole month of December and love every festivity and tradition we share as a family. We had a great Thanksgiving, spent it with our friends, Steven & Angela and their family. I succeeded in not taking one single picture...hate it when I do that..oh well! I started Black Friday shopping on Thanksgiving night with Angela; need I say that we had a blast?!?! After shopping all night, I happily went with my family to the Christmas parade in downtown Belleville. We had a good ole time, even if it was way, way cold! This gingerbread house, made of sand was in the middle of the town square...how cool?!?

Can I just say that we had on tons of layers...

This past weekend, we made our own gingerbread houses. My kids greatly anticipate this activity! I think they do so for two reasons: they get to eat a LOT of candy and they get to be creative!



Jamison mostly ate candy; in fact, I don't think he ever put a piece on the house :)


We went out to the base over the weekend for a children's Christmas party. Our little friends, Sophie and Anna Grace joined us.

Yep, Jordan is telling Santa that he wants a dirt bike for Christmas! What am I going to do with that boy? I don't have the nerves or guts for that!! Jordy is so cute this year; he's such a believer and just eats it all up...know what I mean?


Greg and I had a date...to his work Christmas party! I always like going on dates with him, even if I have to share him! I won a really cool prize at the party...
a KINDLE!!!! I was so excited, what a cool prize to win! I gave it to Greg; he's always thought he might want one for us. Doesn't he look like a proud new owner of this gadget?!?!

I just love the pictures with all the missing teeth. The picture of Jordan and Santa PRICELESS!! And, I know the Jamison ate most of the candy b/c that is what he does. I know Greg loved his new toy thanks to you.
