Locked Out

A couple of Sunday's before Christmas we were all headed to church. I took the kids out to the car and so Jonathan thought I had the keys. When he got to the car we discovered that he had locked to door to the house with the cars keys inside. So we had a little unexpected family bonding while we waited for a locksmith. It was a little cold. These pictures are of our true family together time. Huddling to keep warm in the van.

You Better Watch Out!

They had a little Christmas carnival at the kid's elementary school. There were crafts, treats, a performance by the school choir, and even Santa. My kids each took turns telling Santa what they wanted. Samuel wished for a Fire Truck. Kjirsten wished for a barbie house and a snow globe. Joshua was acting too grown up to tell Santa what he wanted but finally caved and asked for a nerf gun. A few minutes later he realized that "Santa" was one of his friends dads. That gave us both a pretty good laugh. He is sometimes 9 going on 15. It was a fun way to get in a festive spirit.

Our holiday festivities are just getting started. Over the next two weeks we are looking forward to the kids performance in the ward nativity pageant and singing at the zoo. Not to mention Christmas break, baking goodies, and anniversaries.

I'm a Little Indian

Samuel has been having a lot of fun at preschool. The week of Thanksgiving they had a little concert and lunch with the parents. It was too cute! They sang "I'm a Little Indian" to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot." I think the turkey hats were the best! It is pretty amazing to see him growing up so fast.
