Mike and Gus

And to think, Mike acted like he didn't like Gus and didn't want him in the beginning......I'll let you decide, but I'm pretty sure they are pals!!



Shaw Park Ice-Skating

This was a first for us.  We've been indoor iceskating several times at Kirkwood and we've been to the outdoor rink in Forest Park, but we've never been to the outdoor rink at Shaw Park.  So we gave it a whirl.  It was good.  Way less crowded than Forest Park and closer, but it was fun to be outside instead of inside.  Although the kids kind of disagree.  They like being warm inside.









Cheers.....to Christmas Break.....

First day of Christmas break.....coffee, hot chocolate and games!!!!.......And still in pj's (for the entire day, actually!!!)


Come on ring them bells....

Once the kids get in 6th grade they learn the bells and start to play them at school masses.  Peyton had her debut and I snuck a couple pictures, even though they are tucked behind a half wall, I still managed.  They actually do a really good job and sound very good!!

She's the one tucked back, there with the white headband on.



Maddie's Advent Program

The kindergartners do their own little program so that they don't have to sit through the big one....kind of nice.  BUT, next year, they will have to sit through the entire program.  They sang and chanted for about 30 minutes and then had a donut reception.  It was cute and A LOT for their little brains to remember, but they did and they did a good job!!  Maddie LOVED it, smiled the entire time and made sure I was watching the entire time too!!
