Christmas Morning 2016

The kids slept in this year - until 8:30 before realizing it was Christmas morning and there were presents waiting for them! Once they finally got up, we headed downstairs to see what Santa had left. Since we are semi-homeless Santa brought all of the gifts to Nana and Pop's house, per Charlie's request. Despite things being a little chaotic this year, the kids still had a wonderful Christmas and were very happy with everything Santa brought - especially the Kindle Fires aka Ipad's.

Charlie's First Holiday Sing

Today, Charlie had his first concert at Field, the annual Holiday Sing. When Charlie first learned about his concert he came home and told us that he wanted to be fancy and he put nana on the task of suiting him up, which she did well! We had the two best-dressed kids in the school today! The videos of Charlie's songs are below and too cute to miss! 

(These two are the cutest!)

A Date with Olaf

This little girl does not like to take pictures. To get her to pose, I usually need to bribe her or make her think I don't want a picture in which case she is happy to oblige. Today, she sees Olaf and instantly sits down and smiles for a picture! 

Christmas Weekend #1 and City Living

We started out our weekend of family Christmas fun by hanging out in the apartment and making a rocket ship, of course! What better use of a beer box!

On Saturday it was time for the first family party of the weekend. We made our way to Jody's house for the Horner Ho-Down. The kids were spoiled (as usual) but had a fun time playing with their cousins. While the kids were tearing open their presents, Charlie waited until he made sure he had everyone of his presents before diving in!

Sunday morning it was off to grandma and grandpa's house for nap before the Dobry Christmas party, which included a visit from Santa! Evy asked Santa where her Ella was (again) and we had to tell her she had to wait one more weekend. How confusing for a three year old!

Cub Scout Charlie

Cub Scout Charlie sure looks handsome in his uniform! He joined cubs scouts this year and tonight he earned his bobcat badge for memorizing the boy scout oath. (He will be happy to recite it at any time). The first video is Charlie's pack reciting the oath and the second is his pack singing "Santa Claus is Coming To Town".
