We are 4 school days away from Christmas break. Both boys have Christmas performances on Wednesday, and parties on Friday.
My dad flies into Oregon tomorrow afternoon, and we are excited to have him here.
We have weekend plans for a quick trip to Portland to see the lights and enjoy some holiday music, then an early Christmas celebration with the Muhly's before they fly away to Hawaii on Christmas Eve.
Both boys, but Ben especially, are very excited for Santa's arrival next week. Ben can barely stand the anticipation. I suspect if he had gifts under the tree they'd be unwrapped by now. Owen has learned some great Christmas songs on the piano and we have been enjoying listening to him perfect them.
They have been opening their advent calendars each morning- Owen is using his traditional Playmobile set, and Ben has a new one this year from the Rice's- a Star Wars Lego advent calendar. Probably more weaponry than traditionally used for the holiday, but he loves it.
Richard and Owen put the lights up outside yesterday, and thanks to several days home due to a snow storm, the house and tree are up and decorated.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Highlights from our year are contained in the previous posts.
