Xander and Clare

The kids have been spoiled by boxes o' fun stuff arriving from Grammy Eve, Grandpa Bill,
Grandpa Charlie, Grandma Liz, Grandma Mary, Aunt Rachele, and Cousin Troy.
It's no wonder they love Christmastime so much!

Cocoa Koala came home with Clare from preschool again this week.

Surveying his latest stadium creation.

Helping me bake for a cookie swap at my friend Kelli's house.

Xander playing math computer games at school on Wednesday.

Heading down to the old Capitol Theater yesterday to (finally!) see their first real movie on a big screen.

Xander was just a little bit excited.

Waiting for the Muppet Movie (the original one, from 1979) to start,
with his friend Annabelle and her sister Clementine, hiding in the background.

A complete success. Marching back to the car through the festive downtown streets.
