miss evelyn's preschool christmas program...

miss e first christmas program was so much fun to watch!  they sang a few songs and said a word that their letter started with and then just got to play and visit with other preschool families.
evelyn says, "e is for elf on the shelf"
having fun signing frosty the snowman...


i got some cute videos of her signing, but haven't had a chance to upload them.  i was so proud of my girl, you wouldn't have even known that she can be a bit shy by watching her perform in front of everyone! :)
i'm loving these sweet kids performances!!!!

fun with friends and mustaches!

a few weeks back we met up with a few of our friends for a post birthday celebration.  mr. knox was turning 2!  we met at a great pizza place in creswell that has a really nice indoor play area for the kids.
here is the crew:
amelia, eli, evelyn, knox, and caleb...

our friend tj (knox's dad) is always trying to be funny, so he thought it would be fun to buy all the kids mustaches to were while we were there.  
here is caleb showing us his mustache!
girls with staches! :)
the birthday boy with one!
eli looks like a straight up cowboy!
the crew of kids with mustaches!  notice eli is not excited about his anymore!
i love how there are all staring at him is this pic...like, what you don't like your mustache!?
even the dads got in on the fun!
mustache with your tongue out, doesn't get much cuter then that!
you can even wear it up side down!
this girl right here rocked her's all day long.  we had a bunch of shopping to do and she just wore it!  she got lots of fun looks and comments from people! :)
i guarantee you can't were a mustache better then this girl! :)
thanks for the fun play date!  
we love us some time with the hammerschmits and carters!
