We opened gifts at home together one afternoon to celebrate Christmas as a family and the boys were happy. Augustine got Legos, Lewis got a water wall, and Elias got a new car seat. The boys gave each other small gifts too. Augustine chose to give his brothers the matching shirts they are wearing.

We have a lot of Christmas celebrations each year, so here we go...

Couple Things...

I just want to remember when Elias figured out how to crawl into the shelf. I raised the shelf above him so he as more room now.

Augustine decided to teach a class at Daddy's work. It was (clearly) well attended.

Augustine's school does a $5 gift exchange in class (Why?! Why?!) and he actually got some cool little treasures. This was a dig for gold thing and inside is a rock. Supposedly one in 24 have real gold. Mmmm...

From Christmases Long Ago...

A: Mom, how do you turn this thing on?

Me: it's a snow globe.

A: so does it have a switch?

Me: shake it. *face palm*

Christmas Programs 2016

Lewis' class had a lovely party complete with two songs, a slideshow of photos of the preschoolers preparing for Christmas together, a homemade gift for moms & dads, and - of course - a cookie at 1045am.

Augustine's school had a Christmas Singalong and it was actually a lot of fun! When else do we all just sit down and sing some songs together?! Each class leads a song. KA lead Jingle Bells. Lewis sat very still and quiet and LOVED every minute of it. Elias clapped for a lot of the songs.
