Colin at School

A couple of months ago, Colin's teacher let me know that she has a facebook page that she maintains for the class.  Since Colin moved up to the class later than some of the kids (because he wasn't potty trained), I missed out on this information somehow.  I'm so glad she mentioned it to me that day.  His teachers do a great job making sure the kids learn in interesting ways!  I love seeing Colin's happy face when I'm away from him.  I've pulled some pictures that she's posted for you to enjoy.  They start all the way back from September of last year.

So fun -- I used to love playing with the parachute as a kid in PE class!

Christmas 2016

We spent a lot of Christmas Eve and Christmas bouncing back and forth between our house and my parents' house -- the luxury of being neighbors!  We all had a nice, relaxing, laid back, cozy holiday!

We went to Mom & Dad's house for Christmas Eve.

So excited for Santa to come!

After dinner we attempted to decorate a gingerbread house.  It wasn't very pretty, but we had fun!

Colin (very proud) displaying our finished product.  He always points to things in this manner -- it cracks me up!

Ready for bed and ready for Santa!

The kids actually let us sleep past 7:00 this year -- it was great!  Merry Christmas to us!

Their faces say it all

After the kids checked out all of their gifts, we headed back to my parents' house for breakfast and more gift opening!  Then we had dinner at our house.

Papaw brought the girls to our house for round 2 of Christmas on Monday!

One of the gifts my parents gave the kids were their very own fish tanks.  We went out as a family the following weekend and went out to dinner and then to the pet store so they could pick out their fish!

And our pup, Scarlet, turned 10 years old on January 2nd.  We bought her a special treat!

Singing, "Happy Birthday" while she tried to get to her birthday treat.  It was a super hard treat, so I had to break it up for her into a few pieces.

Yum!
