A Busy Christmas Season!!!!

We had a very busy Christmas Season

The 12th my mom came down to help with the boys for the holidays

while I was at work.

The 13th Ethan and Evan had their Christmas parties at school.

I was able to get off work a few minutes early

to attend Ethan's party.

My mom was able to attend Evan's party which was at

Flights International Missions. It was really neat with

the planes and the airport fire truck.

The next Saturday I had a Christmas party at a friends,

while I was there my mom took the boys to see the candle lighting

on campus.

Here are the boys with their friend Patricia.

The next Friday Easton and I had our parties at school.

Grandma and the boys were able to attend for Easton.

I was only able to pop in for a few minutes because our party was going on

at the same time.

Earlier in the day Santa came to visit our classes.

Here is Santa giving Easton a gift.

We would take detours on our way home from places so we could see lights

We saw this one and had to take a picture for grandpa.

The Saturday before Christmas we squeezed in time with Santa.

(Had to tell him what they wanted for Christmas)

The Saturday before Christmas some of Jesus' Angels left us some

Christmas cheer! (A Kindergarten teacher we have never met challenged her class

to bring in gifts and money for Jesus. And our family was put on their hearts

She wanted them to see how much they brought in so she she put the money on this board.) To say the least we feel truely blessed!

Here are some of the gift they brought to us.

They also had a cake made for us!

We are so thankful and blessed!!!

The Sunday morning before Christmas.

Christmas Eve we were able to use a gift card from Jesus Angels

and have Christmas Eve dinner at Olive Garden.

They also gave us a gingerbread house kit.

The boys had a blast decorating it. We like making it into a

gingerbread chruch.

We attended our chruches Christmas Eve candle light service.

Finally Christmas morning!!!!!

The reigndeer found their oatmeal outside and Santa found his cookies.

After the Christmas story the boys are ready to tear in.

we had a wonderful Christmas!!

Have tons more pics but just too many to post.

and Easton was an Elf.

There he goes.

Yesterday was the Christmas Parade in Hobe Sound.

Jen, Brian, and Brandon stopped over and we headed to the deli to pick up lunch.

We then headed over to Charlene's where we ate lunch and the boys played with Mavrick.

Easton just loves Mavrick

Evan likes him a little too.

After lunch we all headed over to the parade.

It was such a nice day for a parade.

Evan got ahold of my camera and got a shot of Easton waiting for the parade to start.

It was so nice to see soooo many people we knew.

Since working again I am getting to know a lot more new people.

There were so many kids from work and some friends from church too.

Here are a couple of pictures of our crew.

I thought it really looked nice. They did a good job.
Some of the other floats
My (and Easton's) school. You can see our bus behind them.

They had pictures of some of the kids in the window. Easton was on one.

I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it.

I was suppose to be walking with them but the boys had been sick

and my shirt was too small so I bailed

Easton was kissing up to Charlene for more candy.

One of the many creatures from Hobe Sound Nature Center

One of my favorite....Hobe Sound Elementary

Ethan and Evan enjoying it all.

We got to see Herby!!!!
