Christmas Vacation

I could NOT resist these ELF Jammies from Target!!

Day 1 of Christmas Vacation! YAY!

Baylor had a Grinch Party at school and he came home with Grinch Slime. I went to the Christmas assembly where we all sang Christmas Carols. A small band came from the High School to play along with the songs. When school was out, the band was playing Christmas carols for all to hear. I loved it- it felt very Old Fashioned!

The boys spent a couple nights sleeping by the little Christmas tree and listening to Christmas music. 

I have been wanting to do this for years! We filled the car with blankets and Christmas candy and drove to the Portland Race Track to see the light show. We loved it. The kids said several times. 'Thank you for bringing us here!' They watched Prep and landing on the car ride home. 

Bentley fully embraced Christmas this year! After just a few days he knew all the Christmas movies and was making requests! His favorite was Grinch. He was asking for that all the time, and in the car he wanted to listen to the Grinch Song. He loved them all though, Grinch, Frosty, Charlie Brown... and especially Prep and Landing. He LOVES Prep and Landing (we all do at our house) He loves the part where Magee says... 'BYYYEEEE' He was saying it all.the.time. and he would crack up every time!!! I caught Wesley quoting this movie a few times too.... he would say 'That's so TINSEL.' It was pretty much the cutest thing ever!!!

"BYYEEEE"
