Christmas activities.

some of the activities that went on during the Christmas season....

brady had "crazy hair day" at school so we tied his hair up into a ton of pig tails and tied them with red and green ribbons.  he really wanted to have crazy hair this year because last year he didn't do it, but when he got to school he didn't see as many kids as he hoped with crazy hair so then he was embarrassed!

school concert with one of his best buds in his class, Daeson.  they had an adorable performance!

brady's hair looks silly in this picture (not gelled) , but isn't his life-size toy soldier so cute!!!???

making gingerbread houses and a gingerbread train.  we thought we'd be a little creative this year making the train, but we'll stick with gingerbread houses.  the trains' wheels didn't stay on very well and we had a lopsided train!  the kids sure had fun though, they love doing this every year!

another fun surprise was that my friend Rachel from college stopped in to say hi while visiting for her sisters' wedding.  we got to catch up a little and it was great to see her smiling face.
