It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

The boys were very busy helping me rearrange the items in my potpourri.

Laps around the house for Aiden too of course!



Dress up with Auntie Laura and Chris!

Watch out world here comes handy man Chris.



Hopefully the boys are taking after their dad with their fix it skills!



We are lucky enough to have not just one, but 3 handy men... Aiden included!

It's almost Christmas so why not use a fun candy cane font!!?

Monday was the boys last day of play school for 2010. Chris did not want me to leave but they did have a lot of fun. They even got special gifts from the students at school and I got a surprise hand print ornament that they made for me. What a treat!

Monday night Auntie Laura came over for a visit. We had a great time catching up and the boys loved having her chase them and begged for piggy backs all night. Do piggy backs ever grow old?

Yesterday I had a dentist appointment in Belchertown so rather than running errands, I went for a cleaning. Thankfully, I got a wonderful early Christmas present… NO cavities! For me, that is huge! The boys loved their time with Mammie Hopkins and stayed very busy, most likely not even noticing that I was gone!

This morning we had a fun play date with Calvin and Megan and Steph and Ashley. The kids play great together which makes it so easy to relax and have fun. Poor Ashley doesn't know what she is missing out on yet as she sleeps most of the time but is a great sport and is not bothered by the big boy's noise thankfully!

This afternoon we are hoping to maybe sneak in a visit with Auntie Steph who is up early for the holidays since she is working on Christmas… bummer! We are just happy to see her! When Mike gets home, I am excited to be heading to the Holyoke Mall to volunteer for the Hospice gift wrapping booth. What a fun thing to do this time of the year.. I can't wait and will be anxious to see what types of awkward things we will have to try to wrap! Stop on by if you're in the area and in need of some gift wrapping expertise (or not so much…)
