Christmas 2011

Can you believe Quinton decorated this entire tree by himself!? I was so proud of him, and I think he did a great job

The wreath that I made for my Sister-in-law for Christmas.

Roman did such a great job at his Christmas program. He sang with a lot of enthusiasm, and not to be biased, but he was BY FAR the cutest kids there!

I spent a large portion of the show outside chasing Domenic down the halls!

Roman's Christmas Party at school.

Our annual trip to the Children's Museum of Atlanta. We had a hard time getting Domenic off of this tractor.

Trains, trains, and more trains!!! Oh, and a little fishing!

This cow had working udders! Well, they didn't produce milk, but they did squirt out water!

A sign on Quinton's door: "Only Quinton allowed. Not Mom or Dad allowed, okay! From, Quinton. (and as an afterthought): And the tooth fairy... oh, and Mom, too, actually. Ok."

I thought it would be fun to have a gingerbread decorating party for all the neighborhood kids. I made all the gingerbread houses and everyone brought one bag of candy to share for decorating. They all did a great job. This is David from up the street (of earlier fame for helping me catch that huge beetle) He was such a great help with Domenic.

I am so lucky that all the kids on my street are wonderful, kind, thoughtful people.

Roman and Domenic playing.

What could be dangerous about riding at full speed on my plasmacar blind?

Christmas Eve dinner. The "adult" table.

The buffet table (I was so please to find a good use for all those gingerbread houses my kids made at the party!)

The "kids'" table.
