Avery Christmas

Every year we SO look forward to Jacob's work party.  It is always amazing and we have tons of fun and come home with full bellies and great presents for the kids.  I got Claire a Christmas shirt for the party with a reindeer that had googly eyes.  When she saw it, she said, "oh mom, thank you, thank you for my Christmas shirt!"  She is pretty adorable. 

For giving a food donation, kids get to pick out a stuffed animal/thing.  Claire chose this Tiana doll even though she has never seen the movie.  I guess she just loves all things princess.

Tommy picked out a dog and loved it!

Mommy and Tommy.  He is so hard to get a picture with his eyes open.

 Yes!  The classic screaming Santa picture.  I think Tommy's screaming had a lot to do with the boy in front of us screaming because Tommy did just fine on Santa's lap a few weekends earlier.

Sweet relief, mommy to the rescue!

Claire went around by herself in this train quite a few times.  We decided to throw Tommy in there to see how he would do and he enjoyed the first couple times around the track.  Claire was really good to hold his hand and push him back on the seat.  She is a great big sister! He started to get upset at the end so we were glad the train ended quickly.

Tommy also loved looking at and pushing on all the Christmas blow-up lawn ornaments and Claire loved the bounce houses and obstacle course.  Claire also got a really fun play-dough set and Tommy got a V-tech bear toy.  Already can't wait until next year!
