Christmas Shirts!

Isaac bought a shirt this summer that was SO fitting that said he would trade his sister for a tractor. Of course this made Isabella a little perturbed. When we saw this Christmas shirt at Children's Place it was a MUST have. Isaac has had his Christmas shirt for awile. I bought it after Christmas for a dollar three years ago. Last year it was a little big, but this year it fits perfect. Together the shirts are SO fitting of the two of them!

Fitting Shirts!

It is a love hate relationship with these two.

They are quick to blame the other!

It is never their own fault.

Look at that expression on Isabella's face!  One of the many in her collection!

Isabella's Preschool Christmas Party

Isabella had her school Christmas party today.  One of the benefits of having the preschool at West is that I can sneak off into her party when my students are at specials!  They even had a surprise guest, Santa!  Isabella told Santa that she wanted a pink scooter, since this is what she forgot to tell him when she saw him at the mall.

Isaac and Isabella finally made it to Santa tonight! 

Making Sugar Cookies

We made cut out sugar cookies two weeks ago, however I am just now posting them!  Even though Isabella looks like she's eating the cookie, she didn't.  The poor little thing was sick with the stomach flu for over a week.  She finally wanted to eat her sugar cookies she decorated a week later.  Isaac on the other hand did not have any trouble eating his cookies!  We still have some in the freezer to pull out this coming week to decorate for the Big Guy!

Christmas is Around the Corner

Isabella and Isaac are getting prepared for Christmas.  Isabella has been cutting from the toy magazines from Wal-mart and Target.  She has been cutting out ALL the things she wants.  Of course, she does cut out things that she thinks Isaac might like and some of her cousins, too.  Isaac is making his list, however I keep saying they don't make those type of toys (These are usually some type of implement.).  He just tells me that it is okay, because Santa's elves can make anything! (I think I am in trouble!)

They also have been discussing in great detail what time they will wake up on Christmas morning, and how they will just run down the stairs and start opening their presents!  Oh the joys of being young!

Christmas 2009

With all the snow it was not the Christmas we had planned, but it was fun all the same! We were able to make it to Christmas Eve Mass at 6:00 safely. However, not very many people ventured out for mass. The highway and our road was fine due to the fact everything was just blowing all by. The roads in town were already a mess and worse after mass of course.

Isaac and Isabella were disappointed not being able to go to the farm to celebrate Christmas, but they enjoyed playing with their new toys all day long! Isaac especially loved the new building blocks, and Isabella hasn't put down the little stuffed mouse that Aunt Donna and Uncle Pete sent her. Isaac even mentioned that he was happy although Santa didn't bring him everything on his list. He already has the Gleaner combine, that he didn't get this year, on the list for next year!

Dear Santa

I am going to see Santa!

The big guy knows I've been nice.

I can't believe it's you Santa!

Isabella's first time ever sitting on Santa's lap.

Merry Christmas!

We took the little ones to go see Santa after their dentist appointments. They were besides themselves with anticipation and excitement of being able to talk with him. When they final got to visit with him, they couldn't wait to take turns to tell him what they wanted. They both just started naming off the things they can't live without. He just listening as he is trained to do.

Wrapping Christmas Presents

I tried to wrap some Christmas presents this morning. I thought Isaac and Isabella would maybe like to help out. They had their own vision of what wrapping presents was all about. Isaac thought that the roll of wrapping paper would make a wonderful road for his tractors and other small vehicles. Isabella also joined in on the fun. I am very sorry if your gift has tire tracks on it this year. I thought about saying no, but they were having a LOT of fun and being very creative with their imaginary play. It is really hard to squash that fun. They were not ripping the paper, so I let them have their fun for awhile. They also discovered that the extra wrapping paper makes a great kite if you run like the wind and let it follow behind you!

Isaac did a great job of depositing all the gifts under the tree for me, and they both loved helping put on the gift tags. Sorry if they are not placed just perfect this year. My little elves have their own protocol to follow!

Slowing down around corners though!

Oops! We unrolled it a little too far!
