Christmas is coming....fast!

I thought I'd post some of our Christmas activities.  One story first that I don't think I've told.  I tie our stockings on the steps banister.  Well, the boys play with them and kept taking them down.  I told them if they did it again I would put them away and then Santa would have no where to put their stuff.  Well, of course, they did it again so I put them away.  Noah says to me, "It's OK we still have a tree."  He was not upset at all.  He told me a different day that Santa didn't need to get him anything, because he knew "You, Daddy, Ooma and Pop would get him presents."  He's so crazy!  Anyway, I did put the stockings up and took back the gifts we boutht for them.  He will not realize it until he's old enough and cares enough to read this.  Christmas is going to be crazy.  

This picture is of the ornaments we made out of dough.  I remember as a kid making these, so it's fun to now do it with my boys. The boys had fun with this.  We may paint them after they dry. 

Caleb cleaned up after we decorated the house.

Here's our beautiful house  :)  .  Pay close attention to the cool trees and the wreath.  

E was enjoying his part of decorating.

I LOVE this sweater!  Caleb doesn't wear much other than his dino shirts and jammies, so to get him in a sweater is quite an accomplishment.  The candy cane eating dino helped a lot!  Present from Ooma.

Really could E be any cuter in that outfit?  He's in the holiday spirit.

This is Noah's preschool Christmas presentation.  He did such a great job.  Back row red sweater.  He was all into it.  SO handsome!

The final attempt to get the play group in a picture.  They were all pretending like they were sleeping.  Yeah right!  We didn't even try to get the siblings in this pic.

Here are the two littlest monkeys.  They are too cute.
This was our first attempt to get a group pic that included all the kids.  E is behind Noah, N and N are not on the bed at all.
This was the second attempt.  The only two missing were the babies and we love them too much to put them in the middle of all that craziness.
It was a fun Christmas party!  Good salad, chili and cookie cake!  I'm not sure I'll post again before Christmas, so have a Merry Christmas!
