Chicago is the windy city. I beg to differ! Does anyone know a good roofer?

Christmas festivities........

We started our Christmas celebrations early with The Ugolini family. We had them over the Sunday before Christmas. We had a dirty Santa exchange and all of the kids received gifts. We ate a lot. It was nice to see everyone! Chris' cousin Pete and his family came in town from the Grand Rapids area.

Christmas eve was celebrated at my dad's house. We ate the best shrimp ever, exchanged presents and headed off to Aunt Nancy's house. We exchanged presents with Grandpa Wayne and the kids played with Emily and Jason (my cousin Chris' kids).

Christmas day was CRAZY! We had our Santa celebration in the morning. Then went to Carmen's house for brunch and exchanged presents. Then off to my mom's to exchange. Then Uncle Brian, Carolyn, and her parents came to my mom's to celebrate. Then we went to Chris' grandma's house to celebrate. Exhausting! We have made a resolution that we will NOT do that again!


This is a picture of the kids all dressed up on Christmas eve.

All the cousins together on Christmas day.

Merry Christmas from our Family to yours!

Sledding

Today we went to the sledding hill near our house. We saw most of our neighbors there. Cameron had a great time. When he got to the bottom of the hill he would say "Please," meaning he wanted to go again! Karli's new sled is really fast!

Snow day

We played in the snow for a while today. The snow was too deep to climb up the big snow hill near our house. But the hill off of the front porch was fun! Cameron is afraid of the sled and screams bloody murder. NO IDEA WHY!

Christmas Party at school

Yesterday Cameron and I visited Karli's classroom as they celebrated Christmas. The kids sang a bunch of Christmas songs, had an ornament exchange, and presented parents with gifts (a hand made wreath and ornament with their picture in it, so cute!) We had fun! Below is a video of Karli and Cameron singing songs with bells. Unfortunately I am sitting behind Karli, so you see Mrs. Sharon (her teacher) and the back of Karli's head (she's in the red striped turtleneck). Sorry for all the moving, I was trying to keep an eye on Cameron at the same time!
