Late Nov. & Early Dec: Christmas decorating & birthday party

Usually after Thanksgiving is celebrated, we start pulling out the Christmas decorations.  This year hit home for us because it was to be our last Christmas in Belgium.    Also, Colin & Aidan learned how magical Christmas can be!




Ho Ho Ho!






Our super cute reindeers!

LOVE the playful side of my hubby!


We will miss this tree...so easy to put up and start decorating.  And it was pretty!

Colin & Aidan's birthday sleepover

A week after the boys' birthday, we invited a handful of kids to have a sleepover.  Only 2 were able to stay the night, but the others came for the evening.   Colin & Aidan requested little smokies, homemade mac n'cheese, hot dogs & hamburgers.  Fun was had by all!




doing a skit


eating snacks and being goofy!!



and of course, playing legos!


and more legos!


Mike & I survived the sleepover  ;), but the kids scared themselves when they told scary stories while going to bed.  "Mom comfort" was needed at about 1am.
