December from the phone!

The whole Christmas season was SO much fun with Champs this year.  He really always gets into all of the holidays, so that's nothing new, but his excitement was in overload this Christmas season.  I loved hearing him sing Christmas songs around the house and in the car as the month+ went along.  He learned so many songs at school (christmas program post coming soon) - both fun Christmas ones like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, but also sweet religious songs like "Mary had a Baby- Yes Lord."

One of his absolute favorite things of the season was the snow village at my parents house.  My mom got out her old village from when Will and I were little and set it up on the desk in the kitchen with all the fake snow and all.  To say he had fun with this doesn't begin to describe - he was obsessed.  Of course there were a few casualties and injuries to some of the figures, so we might have to replace some before next year!  While Barrett was in Orlando for the ACC Championship, I took the boys to Bville for a night.  This was the first weekend in Dec, so the Christmas magic was just beginning  - and it was the first time he got to play with the village!

Champs' class at school had a cute "Advent Festival" early in December.  I participated as a volunteer so loved getting to see them all in action.
