countdown to Christmas

santa came to Henrys preschool so we made sure he looked extra handsome

 reading henrys new book his preschool teachers gave him

 jude loves copying henry, spitting in the bathtub

 i volunteered to help at the kindergarten Christmas party for eleanors class

it was a lot of fun and i loved watching her with her friends

 noah missed the last day of school before break because he was sick

which was convenient for me because i had eleanors party and one for henry

so i could leave jude napping while i went to them

 the kids loved my addition to the mantle of merry Christmas ya filthy animal

 it was so much fun to watch henry with his friends at his class party

 friday before Christmas i woke up sick

 and michael stayed home to help with the kids which was so nice

i had a fever that would not quit and the worst sore throat with body aches and it was awful

for four straight days, eventually i realized it was the flu

thank goodness for tylenol or i wouldnt have been able to function at all

 cracking up at home alone

saturday we woke up to lots of snow 

which was so fun and exciting for the kids

 michaels hard work on the Christmas lights paid off this year! 3rd place!
