Holiday Cheer

Preschool Christmas Program 2009

Kai had his Christmas Program at school today. He was super excited that Daddy and Grandma & Grandpa Utah joined Mom and Rori in the audience for the big performance. The kiddos have been a little under the weather the last few days so I was glad we all made it through in one piece. Kai was a wonderful singing candy cane! :)

(Kai looks a little bugged in this picture because he thought I was slowing him down from getting back in his classroom like they had been told to do)

And these are for the sake of grandparents and great grandparents to get the flavor of it all. Don't get motion sick:

Sorenson Family Christmas Party

Sunday night we celebrated Christmas with Lance's family (minus the Mullins who are home in Seattle and we missed like crazy). We had a yummy dinner, great entertainment, and a tasty birthday cake for Jesus. The cousins had a blast together as usual. Rori is sure she is just as big as Kennedy, Kai and Jack. It is so fun to see them all so excited for Christmas.

Enthralled by the Disney Cruise Picture Book:

Happy Holidays!

We're in the full swings of December = presents, parties, programs and on and on. We have Christmas music playing most of the day- and Kai is an expert at his favorites like Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Frosty the Snowman. The Christmas tree is up and making the whole house smell inviting and cozy. We have an Elf living with us- more on that in another post. And it is so exciting to be 4 years old and a1 year old at Christmas time-probably the most exciting it will ever be. It really is such a magical time of year!

Tonight the forecast calls for snow which is lots more fun on the weekend. The kids have been enjoying the first few storms we've had. They've had fun helping us clear the driveway and sidewalks. And yes a paint roller does work wonders in the snow- if you are 4 years old.









Now if only we can get the 5000 things on our to do list for the next few weeks done. All of it is overwhelming but one thing at a time isn't so bad. Today we worked on some treats to give away. My helpers were not very good at hiding the evidence of what they did with the leftover melted chocolate.
