dec in pics minus christmas

P. brought home a reader from school that taught you how to make a drum, so we made a drum...

These 2 keep me busy while the other 2 are at school...

E. and his buddy were trying to share their cars with C...

Following the leader...

His spaghetti were snakes--specifically a mommy and baby snake...

P.'s first basketball game--they had a little practice time first...

Anxiously waiting to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas...had his list so he wouldn't forget anything...#1 on his list was the big man himself (Santa...so he could get presents everyday)...although Santa said he only brings presents on Christmas day...

Almost their turn...

The big tree...

N. was in his 3rd grade Christmas musical...he had rehearsal for about a month and a half, and he was a rapping elf with a duet with his friend...he did awesome!

My elf...

We were so lucky to have both sets of grandparents able to come...

When he first found out he had to wear tights, he wanted to quit, but I think he made quite the cute elf...

P. was too funny this night--he was going to be a scientist and make potions and explosions...He said, "I will have to travel so far, like 50 miles, and I need a passport and might cross some oceans. I'm going to measure the tallest mountain, and I'll need a lunch when I go around the world...meat and cheese sandwich, grapes, and chocolate."

Play-doh fun...

E. loves to wait for his brothers to get home from school with outstretched arms to hug his brothers...

Love this ornament...

E. ready for his preschool program...

I didn't even expect E. to actually do his program, but he totally hammed it up...

A normal E. scowl...this one is pretty tame...

So seriously, a mom can't catch a break to run to the bathroom for 2 seconds...E. decided to put the basketball hoop over his sister and make hoops...luckily the balls used were all soft, and she was laughing...
