It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Two snow days from school gave us time to snowplow 3 times and set up all our Christmas

Watching Daddy snowplow

Watching mommy snowplow

Snuggling Teddy

This was the first view of the snow on waking

The kids enjoyed extra time in bed and hanging out at home
eating home cooking, bugging each other, and playing together.

Cora lost her first tooth today, and just a few days ago, Aaron lost his last baby tooth!
He'll be starting braces in just a few weeks!  My how the time does fly!

It's been an eventful week away from school!  We had Thanksgiving, celebrated my (Katie's) birthday, and then, celebrated Timmy's birthday early as well.  With these 2 added snow days, we have had lots of family time together.

Timmy's #1 choice of birthday activity this year was to visit Santa's Village in Jefferson, NH
 Since it's "family birthday year" for the boys, we go and do something as a family for the birthday party.  Next year will be a "friend birthday year."
We decided to make his dream come true, and bundled up with all our gear and headed to 
Santa's Village, a Christmas Themed Amusement Park.

They allow you to purchase tickets to the park after 4 pm and then get a "bounce back" pass to come again.  So, we saw the park for 3 hours, stayed at an Inn, and then saw the rest of the park the next day.  It was fridged...but fun and really Christmas-y and cute!

Little elf home



Ollie's favorite ride was the Fire Trucks
 He rode it over and over again

 I'm "this big" at Santa's Village

Warming our cold hands and feet in the theatre.

In line at the Humbug Ride.  You have to zap (or tickle rather) all the Humbugs
to take the "Bah" out of their Bah Humbug.

A little McDonalds hit the spot before bed

Saturday morning at the Inn

Our family with Mrs. Claus

 The kids with Santa at Santa's Home

The snowman Roller Coaster.  
We found out that Ollie is not afraid of any ride and loves roller coasters.
He rode everything they would let him and was SO MAD when he was too little.

"U tubing"


Warm pizza was amazing!

The penguins were all garbage cans. :)




Ollie riding his favorite ride one more time

Along the way, the kids can punch a letter at all of the 26 Elves in the park 
If you punch all the letters, you get a certificate and a prize (an elf Keychain)
It was fun to find all the elves and punch their card at each one.
