Christmas Morning

Jack wasn't too excited about waking up at 5 am.

Every year Elisabeth leaves Santa a note with some treats.

Christmas Eve

We went to the Boston Pops children's concert on Christmas Eve. It was such a fun concert and the kids had a great time. I think it will become part of our Christmas Eve tradition.

December

December has been a busy month. Elisabeth was in a play "How To Eat Like a Child" and did a fabulous job! It was a lot of work, but she loved it. Ethan earned a yellow stripe in karate and was very excited about that. Elisabeth had a huge school project that was due right after her play ended. We also took a quick weekend trip to NYC to see the lights and sights of Christmas in New York. That on top of all the other school stuff, piano recitals, getting ready for Christmas and sports made for a very crazy December. More pictures will come after Christmas.

A little quiet playing time before bed. I love it when they play so well together. Harrison's the blue blur in the background. He doesn't know how to sit still unless he's sleeping.

Right after her play.

The cast was of kids in grades 2-4 from different towns.

Elisabeth took this picture. Ethan is at the far right.

Elisabeth's project was on the Hopi. The third grade spent the last month or so researching about a Native American tribe and then they built a model of their house among other things.

Santa made a quick trip to Harrison's preschool class.

Some Cute Pictures

Man and his fascination with fire.

We put a helmet on Harrison for everything: riding his bike, playing baseball, rollerskating and LEGOs.

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Ethan had a very fun 7th birthday. He had a big birthday party with 25 of his friends and got some great presents.

Halloween

Harrison was Iron Man for his school party.

Elisabeth was Annabeth Chase from the Percy Jackson books.

Ethan was Frodo.
