Philip's Choir Christmas Program - 2011

The 4 and 5 year old choir at our church had their Christmas program on Sunday night, December 4.
They sang several Christmas songs.

And of course there were some motions to go with the songs!

They all did a really good job singing.

After the program, there was a small reception with punch and cookies for the kids.

Decorating for Christmas - 2011

We decorated for Christmas last weekend.
We had fun unwrapping all the Christmas Tree ornaments first.

Here are the stockings and a warm fire!

Ben was really interested in the fire.

Sweet Brothers...

The fire and some hot chocolate were Philip's special request. He informed us that they always have a fire and hot chocolate when people decorate the Christmas tree in the movies.

Ben tried, but he really could only set the ornaments on top of the branches.

So Philip helped him and fixed his ornaments!

Santa Claus

We went again this year to the Christmas Parade at Huntingdon.

The boys waiting on the parade to start.

Ben was really interested in the candles.

Philip watching the band.

Santa Claus arriving in the fire truck!

This year Santa talked to all the kids before taking some pictures.

Philip was really excited to see Santa. Ben was not a big fan.

Once we rescued Ben - Philip had some time to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas. We had a fun night and a great start to the Christmas season!

Thanksgiving 2011

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. My brother was home from Chicago, and he and my parents came over for Thanksgiving lunch.
Before we ate, Philip entertained us.

Ben and I watched Philip's show.

Philip and I worked hard on the table.

Philip made everyone their own turkey placemats.

He set the table for me with some Turkey napkins!

It was finally time to eat! Philip put his Indian costume on for the meal.

Ben likes any activity that involves food.

After lunch, there were more performances by Philip.

There was a magic show and lots more fun!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
