Christmas Time is Here

Christmas Time is here. The Saturday after Thanksgiving we meet Cole at the Macy's in the Old Wannamaker Building in down town Philly. They have an amazing organ there and light show. They also have "Dicken's Village" which is tells the story of "A Christmas Carol". It's always nice to see family and it was a fun way to kick off the Christmas season. We also got our Christmas lights up outside. The next Saturday was a busy one, but in this post I am only including pictures from Ben's work party for kids. They had "snow globe" room, crafts, Santa, treats, and a movie. Rhone is still a little nervous about actually sitting on Santa's lap, but there were no tears. Rhone is actually pretty excited about Santa this year and is starting to talk about things like the North Pole and Santa's workshop where his toys will be made.

Usually I do the crafts with Rhone, so it's fun to see Ben and Rhone together.

The snow globe room was a big hit once Rhone finally decided to go in.

Here he is on Santa's lap. Santa is waving to me and Rhone is reaching for Ben. Rhone got a little toy and a Christmas book- so he was pretty excited about that.

This is a classic kid picture, Rhone only made this face as soon as the picture was snapped.

I somehow neglected to post about Pumpkin Chunkin' and didn't want to leave it out. The first weekend after Halloween Delaware hosts this event where teams compete in different catagories to see who can send a pumpkin the farthest. My friend and I went to the Officer Spouses Craft show, while the dads took the boys to Pumpkin Chunkin'. What great dads to brave the weather and crowds with 2 little boys. We even found them in a crowd shot on the Discovery Channel.

I think these are the air canons.
