Looking so cute…
and then…DUCK!
See that flying bird? Crazy!!
I love it when they all laugh!
Merry merry!
Candy House
My favorite Christmas tradition! You can check out previous candy houses here – 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012. It’s so funny to look back at how much more candy gets put on the house each year! When the kids are in control the candy gets piled on!
I was almost thinking this might be the year that I don’t help and just let the kids have at it, but that didn’t happen. They still needed help and I still wanted to help! I love doing it!
TaDa!!
We each took a side and I did the front…
Spencer’s side…
Maxwell’s side…
and Samantha did the back! This makes me laugh, especially that broken off pretzel bit! ha!
I know we say it every year, but I think it’s the best one yet!!
Merry merry!
Christmas concert
The boys had their Christmas concert at school this week. They performed it 3 days – the first day was just for the other students so we went a little more casual…
and the next two days were for parents so we stepped it up a notch! I was pretty proud to find these nice pullovers at Vineyard Vines on Tuesday and the boys were pretty happy not to have to wear a button down! Samantha even got to go watch the performance with me. Despite being VERY concerned that she couldn’t see the stage, I think she enjoyed it.
Love all the Christmas fun!

Happy Friday!
Christmas Parade
Like last year, Maxwell got to walk in the village Christmas Parade with the boy scouts. Also, like last year, Samantha wore her green polka dot dress! ha!
Looked cute then, looks cute now!
It was an unseasonably warm and muggy day – but at least it wasn’t raining! Lots of fun floats to see and plenty of candy to get!
Hey, we know him!!
Of course the big man himself was there at the end! Ho Ho Ho!
Fun day all around with these scouts!
Tis the season!
Dolphin Expert
Last week the 2nd graders had their Animal Expert Fair. They have each been researching a different animal this semester and created both a book and a poster about it. They read their book to their parent and then presented their poster to any other parents that came by. Maxwell chose the dolphin. He did great – and even looked the part in his Dolphins jersey!
It was a fun day full of fun animal facts!
Second grade is awesome!
