Luke's Program

Luke was a bit hesitant as he walked up the center aisle.  He quickly found us and smiled a huge smile of relief! He really was an outstanding performer last night. They sang Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Go Tell It On the Mountain, but I didn't get many pictures of those because I was videoing them.  Luke rocked -- he really performed and knew all the words. My heart is busting open with pride!

This is Luke's snowman poem -- he's doing A Big Red Bow action. 

I believe this is the snowman is big. I love that no two kids are doing the same thing...





This is the right half of the stage.  Tyson, the cutey in the tie and vest, is Luke's "best friend" and our co-worker's son. This was the cutest program I've ever seen!

A Sledding We Will Go!

Luke rocks. He wanted to wear my goggles over his elf hat. 

 

I love this -- his tiny face in my goggles and his little excited expression.

Getting sideways!

Woo Hoo!

He's such a happy little guy!


Well, he's happy until his belly gets cold. Poor guy, his shirt kept riding up and so he got snow on his bell-bell. A few mommy hugs later (and he wore my coat to keep him warmer...) and he was all set.

Josh was all business, as usual.

 

Somehow I got no pictures of Josh sledding, but I think it was because he was always coming up with a new and better way to get down the hill.  Running.  Penguin Slide. Snowboard. Sled.  Sled with friends.

Luke, Gabe and Kyler on one sled -- this was a fun wreck to watch!

They didn't make it far...

This is Kyler and Josh's first wreck. I love Kyler's smile and Josh's fake snow angel.

Even Daddy gave the hill his best.  Watch out Lukey!

Look -- my Bozeman friends in one picture!  Lisa, Brandi, Me, Jen, and Keely (who is apparently standing in a hole)

Tiny Bubbles, Frozen Bubbles

We saw on pinterest that if you blow bubbles in the cold, they freeze. Sure enough. If you have enough patience, like Gabe does in this picture, they freeze. 

Ashtyn did a  great job of blowing several bubbles.



They were gorgeous -- more colorful and floated higher than normal.

Hoops

Josh is on the Nets this year. He's had a good season, a lot more attentive and into the game than last year.

I love that the kids wear colored wrist bands and match up with the kid on the other team with the same color -- idiot proof defense, or so you'd think.

An Artiste

Luke wanted to paint a nativity scene -- we used egg carton bottoms for the people -- and he could not possibly paint in constricting clothes.  Naked or nothing. 

He is a bunch of awesome.

Christmas Card Pictures, Take 1

Luke simply would not put on his Christmas Pajamas, and insisted on wearing his underwear on his head. I can't help but laugh at my little goof ball. 

This is what I hoped for -- sweet smiles and freshly cleaned faces. Good job, Joshers!

I finally gave up trying for a keeper and just took pictures of their silly selves.  This is Luke playing a wise man and Josh being a camel. Of course it is. 

This is what happens when I say "Make a silly face!"

The Star, the star

Luke got to put the star on the tree this year.  Apparently we're alternating years between the boys -- and they're quiet diplomatic about it. 

Look how proud he is!
