Merry Christmas!

The boys enjoyed some time sledding at Mack's this afternoon, even if some photos indicate otherwise. A great hill and a lot of snow equals a perfect sledding experience.

Joey and some of his classmates decorate Christmas cookies during his party at Moose Hill School today.



Joey poses with his best buddy, Keith, during their Christmas party at Kindergarten.



Joey sits with his classmates watching Santa (not pictured).

I had Christopher's camera and it was on the wrong setting, hence the blurry photos. Luckily, they will get a visit from Santa next week so I can take advantage of retakes!

Yes, that's a microphone in Santa's hand. Joey and Jeffrey will be on our local programming channel when Santa airs now and 'til Christmas and again next season before he visits again. There wasn't a crowd, so they got a lengthy visit with him. If I knew how to get it onto the computer for you to enjoy, I would. But I don't. So you don't get to see Jeffrey fall into Santa's red sack that is beside him on the floor. The blurry pictures will have to suffice!

Grammy and Lou arrived for a quick visit this weekend, right on the heels of our first snowstorm of the season.

Who doesn't like tea? I was going to go as my twin sister Karen, but I didn't have enough kids! So I'm a teabag instead.


Masks weren't allowed, but Joey was still proud to show off his costume in the Moose Hill PM Kindergarten parade. He's between the princess and Raggedy Ann.


Christopher is behind this Spiderman mask. The students paraded around their school.


Except for the kids who were 'too cool' to parade, including Tommy, protesting having his photo taken.


The kids who opted not to show off their costumes sat on the curb and high-fived those who did.


Meow. Screech. Whatever.

Joe-o-lanterns!

First we picked apples...




...and then we picked pumpkins.

We're cool. We know. You don't have to tell us.

Zoom, zoom, zoom.

As is obvious in this photo, Jeffrey just LOVED the log ride!



Riding the Commuter Rail into North Station in Boston.


En route to the Museum of Science, Christopher found his mountain on which to stand.


Not to be outdone, Jeffrey had to try it out too.


Jeffrey wasn't too impressed with this dinosaur print.




Riding the "T" to Faneuil Hall. (It was much more fun to stand.)


The boys threw coins in the mime's bag and he made them swords, sword belts, and dogs to show his thanks.


Christopher, me, Jeffrey, and Joey at the Marriott Long Wharf.






Tommy was invited to participate with the Breeze Team at Faneuil Hall.
