For weeks Benji tromped around the house singing Christmas songs at the top of his lungs in preparation for his school's holiday program.
Our little elf did so great!

The kids (and Travis) all begged to get a real Christmas tree and this year Peter decided he needed to set up a ginormous train track around the tree. Peter used to be obsessed with trains but they haven't seen much play since he discovered Legos. It was really fun to see all the kids play with the trains over and over again.
Just before Christmas, I took the kids to see The Nutcracker at LPAC. Nora has been obsessed with Ballerinas lately and was beyond excited. She kept pointing to the stage and saying, "Look at they dresses, Mommy! Look at they feet!" It was pretty adorable. Especially since she's been dancing around in this little dress and shoes pretty much nonstop.
We hosted Travis' co-workers for another gingerbread house making party and these are the boy's creations. Peter had definite ideas about how his should look and told me he was making it look like Fort Dunmont from WWI. Perplexed, I asked him to explain some more and finally figured out that he was talking about Fort Douaumont near Verdun, France. He had read about it and got the shape pretty darn close and even made a 'hotwizer' (howitzer), guard posts, and sharpshooters. That kid is too smart for his own good.
