This and That

 The kids were super-duper lucky. Daddy took them to see The Hobbit, on Saturday. They saw it in 3-D IMAX. Their review was that it is amazingly awesome, beyond belief. Charles thought it was better than The Lord of the Rings -- and that is saying a lot! I have not gone, yet, but I plan to, sometime this week! I am way excited to see it! I had heard lame reviews from some movie critics, but Charles said they were a bunch of bunk, and that it is everything it is supposed to be . . . Yes, my precious. 

We are getting ready for Christmas day around here. I have thoroughly enjoyed having all the lights and and trees in our home -- it will be hard to take them down! Many nights have been spent in front of the lights, dreaming into the tree.

This is a picture of the back of my dad's head. My parents had some of their new friends over (The Roses) to watch the Canadian Tenors. And then my dad introduced them to the Piano Guys videos... Press the play button, you won't regret it. :-) 

 I captured the moment 12:12:12 PM on 12/12/12. I almost missed it, it was close. :-)  

 Sammi had her holiday band concert. They were pretty good. Sammi is one of two girls in band. (She's playing the saxophone.) The band is super small, and their teacher seemed really young to me? I guess I am getting old!

 Random Henry cuteness. 

 We like to watch movies, and the kids like to cuddle-up by the fire. Yes, that is chocolate on William's face. 

 Daddy was having a sweet moment with Henry, I tried to capture it, but it was dark. 

It "snowed" so the kids made a 4 inch snowman

Cute, huh?

 They went around to the front yard, and used almost all the snow, so they could make a little bit bigger one. Such a happy snowman . . . for 10 minutes, before he melted. 

 They will never know the joy of playing in the snow, like I did. Growing-up in Alaska, it is all about snow! Just look at ALL that snow! It was crazy! 

We went to a Christmas party, and Henry got to see Santa. He wrapped his hand around his beard and pulled really hard. :-)

FUN STUFF!
