Legacy Primary Christmas Program

Julia's school program was awesome, product of having a masters level music teacher at a preschool. She sang O'Christmas Tree and Up On the Housetop! Cookies and Santa topped off the night, which oddly enough was really rainy!

Visit with Santa

We picked an interesting day to visit Santa. It was a really long line and a long wait for Santa, and for Julia it was worth it, Jade, not so much. She did not like Santa or his lap very much! Let's just say it was a very memorable experience, one we probably won't be repeating next year! On the up side, the girls both loved Vixen the Reindeer, but he was one stinky reindeer!

Gingerbread House and Cookies!

Decorating The Tree

Decorating the Christmas tree was fun, Julia had a great time reading her 2010 christmas memories and talking about all the ornaments she has made and gotten as gifts! Luckily she has her own 6 foot tree to decorate - we may need to upgrade next year once Jade starts cranking out her own ornaments!

Mom's birthday

My girls took me to Kona for my birthday and really enjoyed their food and playing the drums withour chopsticks! Great family photo outside too!

Our wobbly walker!

Jade started walking pretty well in early November much to all our delight! Now we are just trying to get a bit more stable...

Oh Christmas Tree!

We headed out to Bennington pines to scout out the Ringenberg family tree the weekend of Thanksgiving. It was cold and really windy. The girls spent some time huddling on the ground to stay out of the wind, but the promises of hot chocolate at the barn made Julia last a bit longer! All in all it was fun and while we didnt get the tallest tree it had a really nice shape to it!

Fall Leaves

We took advantage of a nice fall day and helped grandma and grandpa r with their leaves. Made for some great photo ops with the girls! You can really see how much fun they have together in these!
