Christmas Eve! Brand new Christmas PJs!

Stocking opening! We asked the to wait until 7:00 am to get up and they did!

One of Conner's favorite gifts.

Happiness overload!

Ben's Yule Log.


Trying to get a family photo!  Didn't realize Ben was making faces in every single Shot!

A Very Harry Birthday...

This year the boys decided to have separate birthday parties.  They also wanted them before Christmas (Last year they had one together after Christmas.) So it's been extra hectic around here.

On Sunday, we threw a Harry Potter Birthday for Conner.  It was small. Just a few friends from school, his neighbor friend and of course, Aidan!
Aidan and Conner had Hogwarts Robes already, but I made some simple ones for the other guests.  I also made a ton of wands for them to choose from. 

Here is Conner wearing with wand and cauldron wearing the glasses from the "Pin the Glasses on Harry Game"...

Potions class...





The Cake that was decorated an hour before everyone arrived.  Conner wanted 3 dimensional characters on top but since we'd run out of time he settled for two dimensional.  Conner helped to decorate it (He was very specific about what their hair had to look like!) and he added the hands, mouths and Harry's Scar.
The Wizard Twins!
All the party guests (one boy was sick on the day and couldn't attend)...
  
It was a great party.  Conner loved having his own day.

Christmas tree shopping...

Hide and Seek in the trees!

This one looks good!

Euan looks lost...

The perfect tree!

Aidan and Conner secure the tree to the car!
