Seasons  Greetings!

365 ~ 2015: Day 353

Kicking off Christmas week with my three little elves!

365 ~ 2015: Day 352

Not much but we have our first snow!  It was technically a quick squall, and nothing even accumulated, but we'll take it!  We want to ski!

365 ~ 2015: Day 351

The PTA annual showing of Polar Express!  Hot Chocolate, cookies and fun!

365 ~ 2015: Day 350

Finally getting around to hanging up the candy canes on the tree!

365 ~ 2015: Day 349

My little elf helping me organize Winter break activity bags for kids in need at his school.  Oh and don't mind the hair and Halloween shirt...it was also Holiday Wacky Wednesday!

365 ~ 2015: Day 348

Sending Christmas cards!

365 ~ 2015: Day 347

Crossing off another Christmas Bucket List item...enjoying my beloved Starbucks Egg Nog Latte!  I got to enjoy most of it before the littlest stole it from me!

365 ~ 2015: Day 346

Brotherly shenanigans!

365 ~ 2015: Day 345

David's debut on the big stage!  He had so much fun being a part of the African dancing and singing Christmas carols!

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

Cross another item off the Christmas Bucket List; Evan made a lovely gingerbread house, courtesy of Family Center!

365 ~ 2015: Day 343

Dress rehearsal for his big Christmas show this weekend on the big stage!  He looks so handsome and grown up!  Since Dad wasn't home, we had to google YouTube tutorials on how to tie a tie!  The tie is too long, and it's crooked, but I managed, for the most part!

365 ~ 2015: Day 342

Someone got his first piano lesson today!  He took David's place today since he was at his first rehearsal for Lion King, Jr.  Official lessons will start in January, but he was so excited to get a mini-lesson!

365 ~ 2015: Day 341

Evan is learning the story about the Gingerbread Man and he is working hard on his own Gingerbread Story!

365 ~ 2015: Day 340

Last week I took the boys to see Santa.  Another Christmas bucket list item complete!

365 ~ 2015: Day 339

Lots of errands to run today while Dad was at work...but not before filling our bellies with delicious pancakes from the Tilt N Diner!

365 ~ 2015: Day 338

Today was the kick off to basketball season with a jamboree down in Nashua!  They played great basketball, winning the first 2 games and only losing the 3rd game by a point.  David even scored a basket!  It's going to be a fun season!

Trim up the Tree and all that stuff!

Just as we do every year, the day after Thanksgiving, we begin decorating for Christmas.  The tree is always the first to go up and the boys were a big help in fluffing the tree this year.

This really is my most favorite time of year and we have already crossed off a bunch of bucket list items; including lists to Santa, watching Christmas movies and going to the Christmas parade!  I am looking forward to adding to our list as well as continuing our other Christmas traditions!

Christmas lists for Santa!

I love the glow of our home when the Christmas tree is up and the garland is wrapped around the staircase!  And the outside decorations make the early darkness much more inviting!

Tree is up and decorated!

That night we accidentially found ourselves at the city tree lighting.  We had planned to get ice cream for dinner (since we had a big lunch) and realized when we saw the crowds what was happening!  After our ice cream treat we walked over to help with the count down and checking out the tree, before heading home!

Beautiful!

Tree Lighting!

Meeting my family at the Christmas parade is one of my favorite traditions!
