Holiday Activites

This has been a very fun week. Thursday night, we had Noah's annual Christmas play with his school. This year, it was The Polar Express, so they all got to wear their pajamas. Noah was so excited about it all day. We went to dinner beforehand with Maddie and family and Stella Dot and Amy. The kids were wild with excitement. The 'play' was so cute. The older kids essentially read parts of the book and in between parts, each class is paraded in and sings a song. Noah's class sang 'Jolly Old St. Nicholas'. He was jumping up and down and clapping up on stage. It was so fun!

How adorable is this?? :-)

Mason (Maddie's brother - in red)

he started daycare this month, so he got to participate, too!

As his class was walking out, he saw me and came running over.

Kylie had fun watching.

She did really well and was awake the whole time.

Waylon got off work early on Friday so we took a family trip to the mall. We got some shopping done and had dinner out there, too. On our way out, Noah saw a stuffed dolphin that he said he wanted, so we said we'd tell Santa about it. He was okay with it at first but as we walked out of the mall, he got really upset about it. We kept telling him we'd tell Santa and he'd say (weeping), 'You will?!?' He's been talking about it all weekend, too so I think Santa might just have to bring it for him.

Saturday was a very exciting day. In the morning, we ran some errands and hung around the house but got Noah down for an early nap because we had tickets to the 2:30 showing of.... Disney on Ice!!! We've been telling Noah that we are going but don't think he really got it unil we showed him some You Tube videos of it. He was glued to the computer and was so excited. We were suprised he went right down for nap early. Last minute, we decided to ask some friends to babysit Kylie. We were originally going to bring her with us but decided it might be a nice special outing for Noah if we took him alone. Two of our friends (both named Meagn) came to keep Kylie and they said she did really well. We had a BLAST at the show. Noah was so excited and our seats were great. I teared up during the opening act just watching Noah and how excited he was. It's funny how exciting it was for me and Waylon - oh how things change having a toddler! :-)

Ready for the show



Watching - we had great seats - right behind a divider so he was able to stand and not bother anyone.

A family shot at the end of the show (Noah wasn't happy about leaving - we should have taken it before the show) :-)

It was a great week and we are so excited about all the other fun events coming before the end of the year.
