It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

By -
So we may have been extra extra excited for Christmas this year.  So excited that we put our Christmas tree up a week before Thanksgiving.  (That is what happens when you don't get to put up a Christmas tree last year due to our move to Colorado).

 Even our little Crewster was so excited to help put up Christmas decorations!

 
 

 



 



  
Getting ready to eat pizza dinner by the Christmas Tree
It was way too cold and icy to actually put Christmas lights on the house . . . so we opted for Christmas lights around the kids window.  They loved it!


 Even our little Elfie came for the Christmas Season. She left the kiddos a note and hot chocolate.

 Making a Christmas Ornament


 Playing toss the ornament into the Christmas tree with Ms. Jeannie


 Hands down the best game ever for preschoolers.  Ms. Jeannie wrapped up a box like a Christmas present and let the kids hide under it one at a time.  One of the other kids would have to come back into the room and figure out who was missing (hiding under the present/box).  The kids went nuts over this game!

 Even Boston and Crew joined in on the fun!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
