Church Christmas Program

Here are some pictures of Cole in his first ever Christmas Program. I thought he was going to just stand there like he did at his school Thanksgiving program but he did really well. He learned Jingle Bells, Rudolf, Silent Night and Away in a Manger. It was comical to see all the kids try to sing.

Christmas Season

This years Christmas Season brought a December full of things to do. Cole had his very first church Christmas program. He did better than I thought he would. We went to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags with the family. We all froze our butts off. There was a Christmas Party at Cole's school. That was fun to watch all the kids play games. Cole and I made the snacks. Mitchell and Cole made a Gingerbread Train. After all that there was Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Pictures to come of all these events.

This Years Annual Hay Ride

Every year in October/November our church has a hayride and wennie roast. This year was no different. Everyone had a great time.

Cole's 4th Birthday Party

Well, Cole turned four this year. He chose to have a firetruck birthday party so that's what we had. If you can believe this, Cole made most of the decisions about his party. He wanted chili, we had chili. He wanted balloons, we had balloons. He wanted a firetruck cake, he had a firetruck cake. The boy knows what he wants. It was a good party. He got a lot of great stuff. He had a great time. We could not get him to go to sleep that night. Before he went to sleep he had to play with every single toy he got. That took forever.

Thanksgiving Mini Feast

This year Cole had his very first ever school program. The first of many, I'm sure. Last Friday we went to eat lunch with Cole at his preschool. The children helped prepare the food all week. Before that the children sang a few songs. Cole has been singing these songs at home for the last few weeks. The time finally came for him to sing them for the parents. He just stood there. He was not alone. All the little boys did that. The little girls sounded great. Oh well. Maybe next year. His class wore little pilgrim vests and necklaces that they made. After we ate we got to go into his classroom to see the turkey they all made out of there hands and feet. The teacher wrote what each kid was thankful for. Most kids were thankful for there toys and there pets. One little girl, Gabby, was thankful for her bear. My son was thankful for Mommy and Daddy and God. That warmed the heart. I have proof.

One of a Kind

If you did not already know this you will after these pictures. My son is one of a kind. For Halloween he said he wanted to be Santa Claus. I have never seen a Santa Claus out and about trick or treating. I thought it was a bit strange. We tried to get him to change his mind. We told him it would be cute to be a character from Star Wars to match Ayden. Thought he might like to be superman. No! He wanted to be Santa Claus. Not just any Santa Claus, one without a beard and who carried a bell. I won't stand in the way of a three year old who has his mind set. I guess I don't want Cole to be just like all the others. Every mother wants her child to be special. Well.....










I cannot seem to get a good picture of these two. Not for lack of trying though. It is my new goal. A small goal, but still a goal.
