Holiday's 2011

We celebrated Christmas and New Year's together as a family. 
We were free from other obligations and enjoyed each others company. 
Here are some of the Highlights.

I-Man came to the rescue because Mr. Mr. was terrified of Santa.
Mr. Mr. threw his letter to Mrs. Clause and ran as far away as possible.

The boys pause for a pic on the slide in the mall
Each December I host a Ginger Bread Man Decorating Party.
This year we combined it with the Book Club meeting and had a blast.
We read the book The Red Ranger of Mars by Breathed.

I made Jolly Peanut Butter Gingerbread Men and White Chocolate Gingerbread Men.

J-Man only made one Ginger Bread Man that afternoon but made a city of candy on the top.
It took him two days to eat it.

This was my Christmas present to the boys.  New towels with their initials and tabs to hang on the hooks.
I-Man put the Star on the top of the Christmas Tree

J-Man was a wise man in the nativity play for Joy School
He put a gold ornament in his gold box to give to Jesus.

Santa brought J-Man and Mr. Mr. their own club houses and bikes.

Santa brought I-Man what he wished for as well, a PS-3

Mr. Mr. asked santa for all kinds of balls and he got a hoop to shoot them into just like the big boys.
