Tommy's School Christmas Program

Tommy had his school program on December 7 at night.  It was a cute little program and we had fun watching our little "star!"  He always takes his performance very seriously and sings all of the words and does all of the motions.  I am enjoying it all that I can, knowing that it won't be long before he is too cool for things like this :)

Thanksgiving

Wow!  I am behind!  We've been so busy celebrating and preparing for Christmas that I haven't caught up with my blog!  Oops!

For Thanksgiving we celebrated at Grandma and Grandpa DeVries' house.  There were over 20 of us there so it was a full house!  It was fun to see everyone and remember all of the many blessings God has given us.

 Ella (10 months) and Henry (14 months) were so funny together!  They just looked at each other and then stole each other's toys :)

 Henry's second Thanksgiving, but the first where he could actually enjoy some of the delicious food!

Grandpa always organizes the "tarp game" after Thanksgiving dinner which involves LOTS of goodies and prizes for everyone!  This year my cousin, Victoria, was the manager and Tommy was the assistant manager.  He took his position very seriously and reported several suspected cheating incidents to Grandpa. 

That night, Tommy and I joined my family and some of their friends for a game of bowling.  Tommy did really well with the bumpers up!  He had a great time and as we drove out of the bowling ally he told me that the only thing that would make the day better would be if he could have some McDonalds.  So off to McDonalds we went and Tommy declared it the "most fun day ever."  He is at such a great age!
