Evan came home from his pre-school Christmas program so excited,"I saw Santa, I sat on his lap, and he gave me some candy!!" He kept saying it over and over. Then I saw this picture, I couldn't help but laugh. Does he look excited or scared to you? Don't you just love Santa's dark roots? This is why I have had to explain to the kids that it's not always the real Santa, sometimes it's just Santa's helper!
Evan had his pre-school Christmas program last night. Jason said it was pretty funny, he would stand up when everyone else would sit down, and sit when everyone would stand. He only sang a couple of songs and during the rest of the songs he just sat and yawned. He did do a really good job on his part of this song, he was pretty excited about it. Evan really hates to be up in front of a lot of people, so I was surprised that he did as well as he did. Good job Evan!!! Jason didn't have the best view so Evan is a little hard to see. He's the hansome one in the blue shirt!
Ava and Mallory came over, and Isabel was so happy to have some girls to play with. She dressed them up did their hair and make-up, she even painted their nails. They were strutting around like runway models! It was so funny. She doesn't like the fact that I don't let her dress up Lillia yet. She is such a girly girl some days, and other days all she wants to do is play soccer and football. Girls are so much fun.
Jed, Emily, and Ava are home for the holidays!! HURRAY! The kids are so excited they can hardly contain themselves. (as you can tell from the video) The video isn't that long but this went on for quite a while. It finally ended when Jed gave up, he was so tired, he could hardly breathe. The rest of us just sat back and laughed! It's good to have them home.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! LOVE THE ERICKSONS
Bennett noticed that all the red balls were on the bottom of the tree and tried so hard to get them on the top. I had to tell him to stop when he fell off the arm of the couch and landed on Isabel!
Peek-a-boo
We finally decorated our Christmas tree! The kids had such a good time, they have been begging us everyday to decorate. I finally gave in and got everything out. Will keeps asking me,"is it Christmas now?" He is so excited to see Ava again and he knows that she is coming for Christmas, so I have to say no, its not Christmas, so he doesn't get his hopes up that he will see Ava that day! I thinks it's funny that he cares more that Ava is coming and not Santa.
