School Christmas Party

Cole had a Christmas Party at school the Friday before Christmas. There were games and snacks and goodie bags for the kids. We made snacks to take. HE chose a few of his favorite snacks to make, which included sausage balls, fruity pebble treats and kids trash. The kids had a blast. Cole's favorite game was the jingle bell toss. I am so thankful for a school that puts so much effort into each child and everything is centered around God. Cole learned about the Christmas story at school. He told me a few weeks ago that Jesus died for my sins. The next day, out of the blue he added, on the cross. Cole has the best school teachers and the best Sunday School teachers. Anyway back to the party, I was glad to be a part of that and to see how Cole was at school.

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.
