Primrose Christmas Program...
Last night, Primrose had a Christmas program for their kiddos, 1 year and up. Oh my gosh...as you can only imagine, it was eventful! These poor little ones - they just stare out into this vast audience with these blank looks on their faces. Thinking, "Who in the world are all these people?!" So Carter is in the Early Pre-School 1 class. He and another little boy are the only ones who are not 2 yet, so he is one of the little ones :) In the video, the first minute is pretty uneventful. His sweet teachers are just trying to corral all the kids, keep them on stage, keep them from melting down, trying to get them to participate, etc. He is in the back, by the teacher in the blue, Ms. Stauber (they are all wearing red shirts - his says "I'm on the nice list, trust me"). I think he spent the first minute messing with the display of stockings ;) But he soon makes his way to the front. He is swaying / twisting to "Frosty the Snowman," getting a little excited at the part of the song where they yell "stop!" He then gets distracted, noticing a Christmas tree in the room, and then comes the "jumpity, jump, jump..." portion of the song. Oh my. Needless to say, one of his obsessions lately is jumping. So he got a little over-excited at this point of the song! But it was just ADORABLE!! He did such a good job. We were very proud :) What a fun memory!!

Christmas Cookie Fun!
Christmas is near!
Our Christmas tree before...and after.
These stockings are hand-made by Tim's Grandmother, Emma. Tim has had his since the year he was born!
Carter loves this Santa choo-choo train. But it is HIGH up on a shelf - so he can't get to it! ;)
Our new Santa tree topper.
Jake could care less that we are decorating...
And clearly Tyson is exhausted by it all...
Deerfield, a neighborhood just north of us, does an AWESOME display of Christmas lights every year! So we had to take a drive through the other night. I tried to take pictures of some of the highlights. Boy does Carter LOVE Christmas lights!!!!
