Samantha's program/The christmas train/A playdate

Since I have fallen behind I am having to lump a bunch of our December activities together. Oh well, at least it is all still getting blogged right? :)

Before school let out for the holidays Samantha's class had a parent luncheon/program. All the kids were so cute but I have to admit (and I probably wouldn't be the only one to say it) but Samantha stole the show. She stood next to the teacher and did the hand motions and sang all the songs. Every time the music started this child was dancing. It was adorable!! I wish I knew how to put videos on here so that I could show you all just how great she did, but regular pics will just have to cut it though. :)

Singing to her hearts content

In mid clap for herself (you can tell she just finished dancing too)

The night after the singing and dancing debut of the great Samantha we made a last minute trip to ride the Christmas Train at Victory Camp in Alvin. This was the second year that we took this little adventure with the Smith family and it was just as fun as it was the year before. The kids loved riding the train and seeing all the light displays.

The next week on the 22nd we had a Christmas Pajama Playdate with the Smiths and the Burkharts. The kids wore their pj's and we put on christmas movies and had some breakfast. We also decorated cookies.

Here they all are watching their show and eating breakfast

After breakfast and some crazy play time it was cookie decorating time!!


All the kids had a blast and it was a great way to start off Christmas weekend festivities.
