Christmas Programs 2015

Church Program
The boys performed We Three Spies a Christmas show where they were "Christmas Intelligence Kids". Later in the show they changed into a wise man and sheep. They were quite the performers!

School Program
This was Max's first Christmas program at Kohler School. Sam was an old pro.

The Polar Express

We took the kids to the Polar Express at the beginning of December. The experience included a reading/reenactment of the story, hot chocolate served by dancing waiters, and a trip on the Polar Express (a train that took a few trips around the Green Bay Railroad Museum) where everyone got their tickets punched. The whole thing ended with a visit with Santa, where each child got a silver bell. It was so much fun!

Halloween 2015

Star Wars was the theme this year. The boys carved their own pumpkins this year too. My hands say, "thank you".

Brick Fest (it's all about the Legos)

We all went to Brick Fest in Milwaukee. They had a bunch of activities to do. Building a Lego mosaic, they had a Lego wall that you could build whatever you wanted to on it. They had a spot where you could build a car and race it against other builders and a huge sand box that was filled with red Lego bricks, by the time we left, their were a ton of really cool creations stacked on the surrounding tables. Their was even a tiny mini golf course and a bunch of TVs and video games with Lego games that the kids could play for a while.

After the activities, the highlight for the boys was to look through what all the vendors had to offer. Their were many different types of vendors selling discontinued Lego sets, hard to find mini figures and plain old pound bags of random bricks. Their were a few vendors also letting kids build their own mini figures, which they could then purchase.

Back to School

Everyone is back in the groove. Sam is the old pro in 3rd grade and Max is starting his first year.
