Christmas Festivities

Here are all of our Christmas festivities from this year! 

Going to get our tree!!

So excited!!

Wishing they could get a snow tree!

Awe! :) 

Decorating the tree

And we are done! Love the coziness of Christmas decorations.

Baking Christmas cookies at Nonni's. 

I didn't really think that Jake didn't know how to do sprinkles, I guess I should have showed him first! 

Jake's cookie!

 Jake had a Christmas Program at school. I was so excited to see how he would do! We would ask him all the time what songs he was going to sing and he was so good, he told us he couldn't tell us and it was a surprise!

Here he comes

 After the first couple songs he starts picking his nose!! He was diggin deep. Craig and I were disgusted and so embarrassed! He didn't only do it once, he kept doing it! So gross!

Singing so good! Other than the nose picking he did really well! He was much more into singing than James ever was!

Here is a video of Jake, the kid next to him is the trouble maker of the class and I think he was distracting Jake!

 Watching the teachers sing. 

James

 Santa Hats!

We went to Disneyland again before our passes wouldn't allow us to go over the holidays. Jake was able to go on a new ride! He was tall enough!

Jellyfish ride! He loved it!

James on the jellyfish ride.

 Yummy ice-cream!

 They loved looking in the windows and seeing all the decorations.

 We went out to look at Christmas lights one night and before had dinner at Wahoo's. They had really decorated for the holidays and James wanted to take our picture in front of this fireplace! So cute!

 We did our annual trip down to the Balboa Boat Parade. 

Jake & Mommy

Chase came with us this year.

 The boats were done really well this year but we thought it was a little short.

The boys made a gingerbread house

 Junkfood Jake ate most of the candy!

 Finished! The best looking gingerbread house we have done!

 James had a Christmas party at school and they did a few different crafts.

 I was helping at the lollipop holder table.

After they finished their crafts they had a cute little relay race. They were in two teams and had to sit in a chair, put on a scarf, a hat, put Santa's bag over their shoulder and run across to another chair, sit down, eat a hershey kiss and run back. 

 Here goes James

Here is a video of James going. His team won!!

 We had our 41st annual Marsala Drive (My Mom's Street) Christmas party. These are the third generation kids! Some of them! I love that we all still do this. And that my children get to grow up playing with the kids of my childhood friends. Such a lucky neighborhood!

 Our annual Stull Christmas dinner out. This year we went to Mr. Stox again. And we just found out it will be our last there. They are closing in March!! :(

The kids...

And with some of their significant others
