Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit from our favorite elf, Mrs. Susan!! She stopped by last Friday and brought all kinds of Christmas joy!
I don’t know who loves Christmas more – us or Mrs. Susan! I think it’s a tie!
One thing is for sure, we love Mrs. Susan!!
This semester Maxwell has done LCA for his elective. It stands for Lights Camera Action and they write, direct, produce and star in the morning news program for the school. He’s really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Parents had the chance to come up last week and see it all in action and even be on the show! Jack’s mom and I signed up to do the pledge…we nailed it! ha! I think we embarrassed Maxwell and Jack to death because after we said the pledge we turned and high-fived each other and that made it on camera and on the show! Awesome.
I was so impressed with all that Maxwell knew how to do! I’m so glad he did this elective.
Now we’re happy to be out of school for Christmas!
After making our own candy house at home, we also decorated gingerbread houses up at the club. My crew was looking festive and fun!
And they did a great job on their houses…
and definitely loved hanging with their buddies.
The icing on the gingerbread house? This family photo that Diana took of us! Makes me happy!!
Merry Christmas!
The candy house – one of my very favorite Christmas traditions! This year I really didn’t help with anything except spreading icing. The kids took the candy and ran with it!
Each kid did a side and I think they all look great!
Samantha was very proud of her side!
I say it every year but every year I mean it…
best one yet!!
The next night we got to go see Santa up at the club. Of course my crew was looking super sharp yet again!
I was pretty pleased that Samantha had found that pink velvet headband in NYC that perfectly matched the pink velvet shoes I had gotten her and that they both went great with the new dress I found. Goodness I love having a girl! We got there about 6:15 and there was no line for Santa so we hopped on up for our picture!
The kids had to endure a few more photos…
and then they were free to run off with all of their friends.
Of course, I had fun with my friends too!
A fun holiday night!
Merry merry!
