Joy to Our World

we attend a lunch annually which also host the "big guy in the red suit"  and a WHOLE lotta treats!!! (for before AND after lunch)

i was LUCKY enough to get to jump in the picture too.... i felt it comin'  by the DEATH grip my little lamb had on me.... and that was fine, Santa only has 2 knees anyway!  

Oh and yes, in the TWO minutes between church and lunch... my monkey changed his shoes WITHOUT me knowing.... surprise!

and when you do NOT like the cookie you grabbed, you offer it to your little brother who likes ANYTHING!!!

we made all kinds of ornaments and reindeer food in the elves workshop. so fun.

the griffins minus sweet angelic baby bob asleep below

and some more friends with another sweet boy and one in tow for this coming spring

Next up.... a holiday hayride ON A FARM.... the boys couldn't think of a better reason to skip the Christmas parade....they were so excited....

my middle baby:  i want to stay home with big daddy, too cold

us: sounds good

big daddy: sounds good

we get there.... he is asleep but the littlest one falls into a screaming fit to stay with big daddy, so we lose him and off we go.....

and we arrive to heaven on earth

the big boys jumped on the hayride around the ginormous farm not to be seen for about an hour

and nestled in this little barn were some puppies

charlie's buddy knocked his tooth out playing and i think its the cutest thing ever....

we fed the horses apples and carrots

and not wanting to leave in the least.  my biggest baby says "next time can we stay 85 million years and 17 minutes"  YES!!!!  

we managed to make it back in town to play with baby Caroline.... And eat warm chili with big daddy.... we helped big daddy decorate his tree and Charlie loves to get all big daddy's santa claus collection out..... Big Daddy's House looks Great and so festive!!! 

Back to my Manic Monday.... Its Charlie's special week at school.... woo hoo!
