Wrapping presents

Kai came down with a nasty stomach bug Saturday night. I tried to cheer him up on Sunday by having him help me wrap presents. The only one he kind of got into was the present that he bought for Mayli. He really didn't care for the rest. Poor little guy - tough day!

Gingerbread houses

Tonight we started to make Snoopy gingerbread houses. We got as far as building the houses. Stayed tuned for the finished products.

Dad had the longest attention span.

School Christmas Party

Kai and Mayli had their Christmas party at school today. It was the cutest! First they sang songs, had a visitor from Santa's workshop, and played with a bunny!

Mayli petting the bunny.

Kai getting a Santa balloon hat.

Their stocking from their teachers.

In their stocking, there was a snow globe and a stocking snowman.


And, look at this beautiful artwork.

Every year, they make the most beautiful ornaments for Mom and Dad. Here's is 2009's.

Who loves to vacuum?

Mom's little helper!

Brother & Sister

Don't ask about Mayli wearing Kai's underwear. She insisted on putting them on. Interesting...
