Holiday School Fun

Geesh ... I was beginning to wonder if Caden was in college with the amount of goodies we brought to school last week.  Small gifts for bartering, candy for gingerbread houses, a book for a book exchange and a treat for their Polar Express party ... and of course I couldn't not send teacher gifts.

I attempted to make these cute snowmen doughnuts that I had seen in a magazine ... by snowman number fifteen, I was ready to go crazy ... why do things always look easier in the magazine?! Darn Martha Stewart!

When I picked Caden up on Friday it made all the work of getting ready for the week worth it.  He was cheesin' it up, had frosting all over his face, the traditional homemade ornament (that does not look like my kid in the picture on the ornament) and the one of a kind graham craker milk box house.  He wore his jammies to school for their Polar Express party and Santa made a visit. (no pictures-no Mommies & Daddies there - junk!).
Now it's hooray for 17 days of no work or school :o)  He's starting it off in style .. the way this kid relaxes cracks me up!
We were spoiled to get to see AJ (and his Momma) two weekends in a row ~ they were visiting Grandma in town, and squeezed in time to meet us for lunch today.
These two are too much! I fear for their camp counselors in the future (they will be up to no good) and the girlies at the conventions better watch out ... these boys are pretty darn cute!

Incase you were wondering ... Elf is still up to no good ~
I can't believe this is the last week before Christmas. Crazy!
