Christmas Parties & Concerts

Is there anything more adorable than children's Christmas performances? Especially when it's your own kids??

Nope 😍

This past week George and Abigail had their school Christmas concerts and parties. George's class was mainly a party with a couple welcome songs, while Abigail's was a concert with three well memorizes songs + choreography ;)

Abigail and I attended George's party on Thursday. The three of us had so much fun making Christmas cookies, painting and decorating ornaments, and being serenaded by 3 year olds!

Here are some pictures (and video) from his party:

George loved having us in class with him, and Abigail was so sweet about everything "this is nice, George" or "Good job, George!" (after his singing)

Ha! Kid's are pretty amazing.

Then yesterday was Abigail's big day.

I knew they'd been practicing their songs for a couple weeks, and since Abigail clearly inherited my I've-just-gotta-SING genes, I happened to already know which songs they would be performing ;)

Videos below:

Abigail and Rhys (the boy to Abigail's left in the first two videos) missed school the first half of this week due to a cold, and given Rhys' ending to Jingle Bells (watch it again if you missed it), I'm not sure he was feeling 100% yet. Aside from that, the kids had a great time entertaining us, and I was so proud of Abigail; she was so confident and comfortable singing in front of everyone!

Here are a couple more pictures from the afternoon:

The cuteness is too much!

Merry Christmas

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day. This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love. Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day. Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ). You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible. You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are :) This month I moved you to the nursery. It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together. As such, you now have your own room! It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one. Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday. So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...

First Comes Love...
