Bennett's Chirstmas Program

After The LIttle Gym with Carter we were off to Bennett's Christmas program at his pre-school. It was so cute! He is such a good singer and loves doing the actions that go with the song. I still can't believe that he is old enough to go to school, but it makes me happy to see how cute he is with his classmates. He loves school!

During the program all the dad's were invited to come up and given a red nose. The dad's sang Rudolph to the kids. Your a good sport Scott. Bennett loved it! Carter was surprisingly good during the program. It helped that Aunt Stephie was there to entertain him.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

The Little Gym

Thursday was Carters last day at The Little Gym. He had fun playing peek-a-boo with his friend, and showing off all his new tricks. It was fun for us to see what a different experience The Little Gym was for Carter than it was for Bennett. Carter is definately more of a free spirit, and is just happy to run around.

Christmas Cards

Last week we attempted to get a picture for our Christmas cards this year. Needless to say, it did not go well. Bennett wanted the swing to go high and Carter did not. Carter wanted to eat the snow, (surprise, surprise) and Bennett wanted to throw snowballs at Carter. It wasn't long before they were both in tears and I was tired of yelling.

Merry Christmas to all!

Love the Waddells

Love you, Santa

I think it's safe to say that Carter is not to fond of Santa! We were at our church's Christmas breakfast and Santa showed up at the end. He wasn't the real Santa, but one of his helpers that happened to be the nursery leader at our church. When Bennett sat on his lap and started telling him what he wanted for Christmas, he stopped mid sentence and turned to me and said, "mom, this is not Santa. It's Roland!" Needless to say we had to explain to Bennett that Santa has to have helpers to be able to get everything done. Sorry to the other kids that were waiting in line.

Santa's Watching

Carter wanted to make it on Santa's nice list this year so he washed Bennett's shoes for him. What a sweet brother! Can you tell that he also was cleaning the floor for me as well?

To start the holiday season off right we participated in a Santa fun run in Ogden. It was required that everyone running dress up as Santa. It was a 5k and we ran the parade route for the Ogden City Parade of Lights. It was fun to see all the different Santa's running and it was the first race that our kids really loved! Every about 1/2 mile they had milk and cookies, which was the reason the boys were so happy. I think Bennett ate 8 cookies and probably a few of his brothers. Bennett's mission during the run was to find the "real" Santa.

After the run we stayed and watched the parade, which was short and sweet. The perfect length for kids out in the cold. All in all, it was great fun!
