Christmas Festivities

Where does the time go, especially during Christmas season!  We had a busy week including two Christmas concerts for Sean and Alex.  The boys looked adorable and were not shy singing!  They did such a fantastic job and really puts you in the Christmas spirit!

Sean and his classmates!  So adorable!!!
Seanie made us a really cool Christmas ornament to hang on our tree!

Next up were the big kids at Holy Apostles!

Singing their little hearts out!

Thanks for coming Papa and Nana!

Christmas Around the World
St. Nick came and left our house a few weeks ago leaving the boys with some super cool items in their stocking.  Buddy the Elf has been keeping his eye on Alex and Sean and reporting back to Santa each night.  We've been enjoying the little snow that has fallen so far.  The boys can't wait for more to go sledding!  We also got to decorate Christmas cookies and had fun frosting, shaking sprinkles everywhere and eating them!
I'm on Santa's Awesome List!

Too Awesome to be on the Naughty List!

My two creative Elves!


Lovin' the snow!
 Dave and I had a fun night out at my company Christmas party this past weekend!  We had such a great time and shared so many laughs throughout the night!  I am so blessed to be able to work with friends that feel like family to me. 
 
We also celebrated Greg's retirement after 27 years of dedicated work at Prime.  It feels bitter-sweet!  We are so happy for him but we'll miss his comic relief in the office!  He is one of those people that could always brighten our moods!  Congrats to you, Greg!  You deserve all the best!!!   

Date Night and kid-free!
  
So many laughs!

Happy Retirement Greg!!!
 We took Alex and Sean to cheer on the Wave last week.  It was fun to watch and neat that Alex knew some of the players from his Wave camp.  After the game, we were able to go on the field and get pictures and autographs.  It made our day, especially since both boys got to meet their favorite Wave player, Ian Bennett.
Let's go Wave!


Sean thought it was so cool to get autographs.

Congratulating the Wave players on their win!

Checking out the goal.  So cool!
 Alex worked really hard the last eight weeks on a project for school.  Each student had to research a different country and learn about their country's Christmas traditions.  Alex randomly was assigned Germany which was cool because he could tell the class that his Dad was born there.  So parents were invited to watch as the kids presented their projects.  Alex did an incredible job!  He was confident and spoke loud and clear.  He knocked it out of the park!  I was so proud of him!!!
Christmas in Germany
 My famous husband was the "feature photographer" again on Channel 6 News the other night for his meteor shower photograph that he stayed up until 1:00 AM to capture!  He was so proud of himself!  Thanks Tom Wachs for the credit!  It's cool to see Dave's picture get recognition!
Awesome picture!
