Fun in the snow and the Christmas train!

We loved the Christmas Metrolink that rolled through town. We've heard about it for a few years but this was the first year we made it. They decorate the train with lights and they put on a show with Santa. Needless to say the kids loved it. We also took the kids to the snow for the first time...it just happened to be at the mall!! They brought it tons of snow and it started raining so it kind of felt like we were in the mountains! We didn't have proper gloves for the kids so next year we'll be more prepared! I caught some pictures of Phia and Daddy's snowball fight:)

Here comes the train! The best part was the look on the kids faces as it roll into the station blaring Christmas music!!

Presto's head was turned the entire time!





It's snow time

Presto was in heaven

Phia insisted on making snow angels so mommy cleared the way and away she went!

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!






And a picture of Sophia in her Christmas dress before Church just 'cuz:)

And a picture of Presto looking handsome in his sweater

Sophia's first Christmas Pageant

Wow was mommy emotional! I started tearing up when the kinder class was singing so I knew I was in trouble(Daddy was emotional too!!). Sophia of course sang her heart out and was in the front row! They sang Jingle Bell Rock and she was shakin' her jingle bells so proudly. I had a front row seat since I'm the room mommy and helped get all the kids ready and to the Church on time! Whew...hard work with 20 three year olds!! One of the parents volunteered to make all the kids scarfs for the performance(girls wore red and boys wore green) and they all wore jammies...such a cute idea! We had a blast and Nonno took a night off at the tree lot to surprise Sophia which of course made her night. We all went out to celebrate after and Nana kept telling Sophia she was "the star of the show"...hopefully she won't repeat that one when school starts again in January ha!(she repeats everything!!)
Miss Sophia in her classroom before the pageant...she was super excited!

Phia, Brady, and Blake...the 2 Musketeers!

Bentley's 8 week stats

Phia decided it would be a great idea to "decorate" daddy and Bentley while they were sleeping. Thankfully both are heavy sleepers!!
We took Bentley in for his 2 month and he got 4 shots(2 in each thigh) poor little guy! Doctor said he still has a little jaundice but it should be gone by 3 months. She said he's growing perfectly and was really happy that he's starting to sleep better. He's weighing in at 11lbs 10oz(50th percentile) and is 22.5 inches tall(30th) percentile and his head is 40.5cm(60th percentile). Sophia was the same exact weight!

Preston's 2nd Birthday

Preston's b-day is always so fun! We thought it would be a tough time of year to get our friends and family together to celebrate but these last 2 years have been so awesome! All the kids loved the Elf this year. She made balloon animals, did face painting, and did magic and bubbles with the kids! Phia followed her all around the house wondering what she was going to do next. Preston actually sat long enough to get his face painted like a puppy...we were shocked!! Preston was singing "happy birtday"(just like that) all day!
