Celebrating the season
As always, December has filled itself up with plenty of holiday merriment.
A family scouting trip, where Trey got some good experience at making shot charts.
A trip with Giga and Poppop to various stops around the lake to see train collections. This was fascinating, especially the ones that Aden got to operate himself.
For our church program, Aden was slated to be a shepherd, though sickness prevented him from being in the live show. This is him at rehearsal:
And here is Trey operating the sound board. He's learning so much from his Daddy.
On Aden's last day of school for the year, his class put on a singalong program.
Aden also played a special part by holding a giant (fake) ax and pretending to chop down a Christmas tree. Wish the phone had held out for video of this. He's standing behind one of the kids holding a tree picture, waiting to chop her down.
And then Christmas at home. Thanks to the generosity of some very dear friends, we were able to give the boys one groundbreaking Christmas this year. In my husband's words, we are at once the world's coolest parents and the world's dumbest parents.
Aden wasn't really sure what to do at first - overwhelmed or confused or something. But he eventually caught on. And since then has hardly let those poor drums take a breath.
Their joy overflowed to all of us, and the morning was a great blessing.
A very merry and memorable Christmas indeed.
