BBP Program, Happy Bday Jesus Party and Christmas FUN

The Christmas holidays are among us!  We had one (very) busy last week at school and some exciting projects at home.  The kids and I pulled out a Christmas gift from my secret pal at work the other day.  I had been saving it from a chilly, pj day and the were excited to do something new. I helped them get started, but we had a candy gingerbread village in no time!

Before:

Brother working diligently (and probably trying not to get messy if I could guess).

Sister working hard to put the candy on the house and NOT in her mouth.  (She looks so big to me in this picture!)

Brother placing the finishing touches...

Ta da!

Mommy's house...

and Sister's house. (and a little hand probably reaching to steal some candy:)

Monkey see...

Monkey do.

Our gingerbread village...still in one piece.

Tuesday morning (and evening) the kids at BBP put on their Christmas program.  They did GREAT!  Grandpa and Grandma joined us for the morning performance and Cookie came to watch the kids that night.  The kids were so cute!  Sister and her friend MP cracked everyone up with their singing.  They belted it out for everyone to hear. Love it!  

Sister and her cousin, GO had matching dresses for the morning performance...so sweet.  I am sure my sister has a picture of them together.  They looked adorable.

Now time to play, find the kid -  This one should be pretty easy...she has her mouth wide open!

Brother is a little harder to see.  Hint- his shirt is green :)

Thursday was Happy Birthday Jesus Parties!  The kids were excited that Hubby was able to come too.  It is always a special time at the school.  We were very blessed with treats and goodies to bring home over the break...I will be munching on goodies until the New Year - YUM!

Reindeer sandwiches...so cute! I loved this idea for their lunch.

I am glad I grabbed a quick picture with Sister, b/c every other picture she is shoving food in her mouth.  Gotta love that girl.

We have a lot of fun activities planned over the holidays.  I can't wait to get started...#1 on the list is sleeping in tomorrow :)
