Merry Christmas Part #2

 We went to see Santa a couple of weeks ago.  The boys didn't want to but Lizzy did.  Plus I told the boys if they do not let me get a picture with Santa then Santa will not come. (Threats are great!!!!)  Lizzy asked for a real horse.  Santa said he probably could not fit a horse in his sleigh.  But he would look through all his toys and pick out the best one for her.  Lizzy was so excited and happy Santa would do that just for her.  

We went to a pack meeting about a week ago and watched Henry get his arrow of light.  That was really fun to see him receive it.  He is ready to move on to 11 year old scouts.  Just 8 more den meetings but who is counting.    

This Friday, we woke up to snow.  We haven't had snow in about 2 years.  This was Maggie's first experience with snow.  She loved it and run in circles the whole time the kids were outside.  The kids made a snowman, snow angels, and throw a ton of snowballs at Maggie.  It snowed enough to have a late start but not cancel school.  By the time they came home from school, the snow was basically gone.    

 This Saturday we decided to go hiking in the woods.  We went to Barnes Creek Trail.  I had never been on this trail but feel in love with it.  The trail was a gradual uphill/downhill.  Even better all my kids were able to walk to whole time and we were able to stay together.

 My favorite part of the trail.  

Merry Christmas Everyone

Merry Christmas everyone.  We have had a wonderful month celebrating the season of Christmas.  

We have been here and there doing different things this year.  I honestly do not know where all the time as gone.  It seems like yesterday I was blogging but I guess it has been almost 2 months.  Sorry about that. 

Maggie has enjoyed Christmas and cannot figure out why we put a tree in our house.  She has been pretty good at not taking presents but I think she has sniff out one present with chocolate.  

 Lizzy was able to pick and cut down our Christmas tree this year.  

I really thought we would have a pink Christmas tree but no, she wanted a regular Christmas tree.

It is a big, beautiful tree and it smells wonderful.

 Lizzy has been taking dance for the last couple of months.  She likes dance most weeks but wishes her was in the same class as her best friend.  Overall, she does very well and I think she is a graceful dancer (which really surprise me)!!!!

Lizzy is finally taller then Santa.

 Of-course the boys had their winter-fest concert.  I always enjoy going and listening to the choir sing.  Thomas and Henry were both in it and had different parts.  Thomas sang, played the recorder and had some bell work.  Henry also sang, and played the recorder.  

My favorite song was fum-fum-fum.

They sounded awesome.
