Choo Choo!

We had a very rainy Sunday so we decided to do a family project.  George and Clara were very excited to make their Rice Krispie Choo Choo Train. 

 

 

KAMOM Santa Brunch

This Christmas season, George and Clara have been left at home a few times while John and I attend Christmas parties.  Even after explaining how boring these parties are (adults talking, no playgrounds, toys. or other kiddos), they always want to tag along and are sad when we leave.  I am glad they have a Christmas party they can call their very own.  George and Clara enjoyed the time with friends, yummy breakfast treats, Christmas crafts, and of course Santa's visit!  Santa brought each kiddo a book too.  George was exhausted at the end of the party.  Another fun morning with my sweet family.  Love the spirit of the season.

Zoo Lights

The Houston Zoo decorated for Christmas this year.  They opened their doors at night for everyone to come check out the awesome lights, listen to carolers, ride the carousel, and eat some yummy treats.  We even saw the giraffes and tigers wandering at night.  It was our first cold snap so we had the perfect weather to get into the Christmas spirit.  We had a great family night out!

The Nutcracker

Clara and I had a girl's day out at the Nutcracker with some of our favorite friends Miss Amy, Natalie, and Claire.  Clara loved all the dancing so much she was dancing in her seat.  It was right during nap time so we only made it through the first act.  Next year I know she will want to stay through the whole thing.  Such a memorable day!

And while us girls were watching the ballerinas dance, Daddy and George were out playing tennis.  Fun times!

Kid's Night with Santa

We joined The Carters at the club for Kid's Night with Santa.  We enjoyed dinner, Christmas crafts, cookie decorating, and our first visit with Santa for the season.  For the first time ever, both George and Clara sat on Santa's lap without tears.  Success!

Decking the Halls with Daddy

We finished decking our halls last weekend with Daddy.  We started with the outside lights.  George and Clara loved to climb the big ladder.  They helped a lot.

That afternoon we decorated our Christmas tree.  George and Clara decorated the whole bottom half without much help from Mommy and Daddy.  They really enjoyed it and we only had one ornament break.  Pretty good for two three year olds. 

While I was cooking dinner Clara situated her dolls in seats by the Christmas tree and read them a few Christmas stories.  She also danced to Christmas music for them.  It was by far my favorite moment of the day.
