Christmas Weekend

Our first Christmas celebration was at Grandma-ma's and Papa's house this year. We had a very nice time, yummy food, and lots of laughing. Lorelei got lots of wonderful presents including an etch-a-sketch, a Lite Brite, and a faux fur coat.

Celebration #2 was with Honey, Pop, Uncle Adam, Aunt Nicole, and Cousins Jack and Vivian. This year we spent it at Chuck E. Cheese which was great 'cause then all the kids could run around and be as crazy as they wanted to be!!

And, on Christmas Day, we stayed home. Lorelei woke up extra early (around 4am) and after about 90 minutes she finally fell back asleep and didn't wake up till about 9am (thank goodness). After her regular morning routine of playing dollhouse and a little tv and cuddle time, we didn't even begin opening presents until 11am !!! 

After opening presents, we enjoyed our brunch, played with toys, did a couple costume changes, and before we knew it was time for our Chinese dinner. We hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas as well.

5K Christmas Concert

Lorelei's 5K class put on an AWESOME Christmas concert last night. They had been practicing for weeks. It included several songs, speaking parts for some kids, choreography, and even reserved, front-row seats for the Hardt family. Enjoy the pics and videos.

Christmas and "Beauty and the Beast"

Last weekend, we got to visit Grandma Honey and Pop, help decorate their Christmas tree, practice on the pump organ, and see a production of "Beauty and the Beast". Fun day !!

More Santa!

We got to see more Santa at Daddy's work office party last weekend. We had a nice buffet lunch, played games, decorated cookies, and did crafts.

Christmas Continues

Our Christmas celebrations continued with going to a Christmas party for the 3rd year in a row.  A friend of Jamie's dresses up as Santa, so, it's always fun to visit. Not to mention the great food.

Unfortunately, Lorelei got very sick at this party and we then spent the whole night in bed with a bucket near us. :(

Thankfully she bounces back quickly. We did stay home from school on Friday, we read our books, watched a little tv, and did some science experiments. 

On Saturday, we got to visit our Hartland library Santa for the 6th year in a row!!

We also got to play in the snow and make our first batch of cookies.

We ended the weekend by going to the Country Christmas Lights in Pewaukee. It was so fun to see everyone's excitement of the lights.
