More Christmas fun

On Saturday (dec 13th), I took the kids to the Tempe boat light parade and fireworks.  




On Sunday the 14th, we started the day with a brunch at the country club with Santa.


Then we went home, changed our clothes and went to Conors school for a little Christmas fun there.  They had a petting zoo and a little train ride.



We also decorated cookies to take to the neighbors... Still cleaning sprinkles off the floor... :-)



Yesterday Conors pre-k class had a little Christmas party.  They ate pizza, had a book exchange and decorated cookies.  It was fun to go and just watch them for a couple of hours.




We finally got our advent candles set up and we caught up on the story last night.

Conors Christmas Advent program

Conor's little preschool had an adorable little advent program on Friday.  The kids all came out and sang several songs and showed off their nativity artwork.  Then we had a little photo shoot with some of his friends.  Seriously cute...




Christmas fun 12/6/14

Today was a busy but fun day.  We started out by going to a work Christmas party at another agents home.  We had food and a fun gift exchange.  Santa also came and joined the party!  The kids were in awe... 








Then after a short nap we packed up and went to the light parade.  We camped out to save our spot for 2 hours before the parade even started.  We met up with Conor's friend Leighton and his family so the kids had fun while waiting.  We ate pizza and just relaxed.  The parade was pretty impressive-the kids loved it!  The last picture of Norah is when she saw Santa on the last float... Priceless...

Norah's birthday party

We had Norah's birthday party a week after her actual birthday and it was a success!  Chris smoked some pork shoulder, we made baked beans, coleslaw and lots of treats (rice krispies treats dipped in chocolate, animal cookies, then cupcakes from Gigi's).  Norah had a blast running around the backyard with all her little friends.  Then that night she opened a LOT of presents - a very successful birthday!
