Water Park Fun

I have the pictures and Amy has the words, between the two of us we should be able to tell the story....

Christmas concert/party

Carson's preschool Christmas party had a lot going on. Both sets of grand parents came for the festivities! First we decorated cookies and ate them. Fallowing the desert came potluck dinner (which at that point was just for the adults). I made some mac n' cheese!!
Carson did all the crafts...He made an ornament, reindeer food with glitter and oats (to spread on the lawn so they can find us in the dark)!! He also colored a Christmas picture!!
Our beautiful family Christmas picture...Craig always fallows his yearly tradition of closing his eyes in the picture. It would be weird if they were open!!LOL!!!
Carson's best friend Charlotte!!! Stuck like glue together!!
Christmas musical!!! I loved every second of the squirmy concert!!! Carson is a born performer (IE: the loudest on video!!) There was also the token crier, the nose picker, and the wanderers who walked around oblivious to everything!!! We loved it!!!

Lillian Hauk's birthday Smith's take!!!

Not to compete with my mom...but I wanted to share my version of grandma's birthday. I love the cake picture because her face explains it all. She had a bittersweet birthday missing Grandpa Hauk but sooooooo thankful for all the wonderful people in her life!! I think there were ninety of them at Weber's today!!!
Well this is a fun game...see if you can actually find waldo (grandma) among her many grand kids and great-grand children. Believe it or not they all are not in this picture!!! I tried to count the missing ones...but Desperate Housewives is on soon...I can tell you Connor is not in the picture because Craig disappeared to check the score of the Lion's game!!! You have got to love football season!!!
Smile and I'll give you cake...Works like a charm!!!

Gearing up for the big guy!!!

Does anyone know what the craft of the week at my house is??? HINT: Today is Dec. 1st and the count down begins!!!!
Concentrate!!! Red, green, yellow...yep fun and learning patterns...I am good!!!
We set up the Christmas tree today!!!!
We went to Meijer and on the way there saw a Christmas Parade in downtown Oxford (I love my cute little town). Then at the store an announcement was made that SANTA was arriving and so how could I say no to that face!!! Look at how he adores him (even though that is a sad looking Santa)...but hey he's four so what does he care!! By the way he asked Santa (and I quote) "I would like a BIG SLOBBERY DOG and a GUN." Only my wild child. And for those of you thinking where is Connor...Home napping...Trust me this is not the only picture you will see of the boys and Santa, although Connor may be crying in the next one(trauma for the shy one)!
