The Delaney Family: Gingerbread Houses and School Christmas Program

Oh, it was so long ago. I can't remember many of the sweet moments.... but the boys had a Christmas program at school. Maggie had the stomach bug (the first touch of sickness that stretched throughout 2 1/2 weeks of Christmas for our family).

She ran outside without pants.

See how she is looking at the boys? I love how she loves them.

Cooper was too nervous to adjust his hat - so I don't think he could see the whole time. I'm using my zoom lens - the church was packed, and there is really no chance of your kids seeing you.

Charlie and Cooper sang at the same time.

The little girl to Charlie's right has a bit of a crush on him.

It's so sweet.

Cooper is in the middle row, third from the left.

Charlie is on the bottom right, with his tongue hanging out.

Cooper stood next to one of his best buds, Matt.

Their whole class is so close - they were mostly all together last year, too.

So sad that they will all be split up for Kindergarten!

Jackson was all business.

Sang as told. No silliness : )

Notice the blur in the bottom of the picture...

this is what you get when you are filing between a persons arm and head while they hold up their video camera in fron of you for the entire performance.

Slightly irritating, but, what can you do?

My friend said the person in front of her held up and iPad and videoed everything.

That's worse.

We had a gingerbread decorating party before that.

Two actually. One with our McKinney friends - a tradition we try to do every year.

Also had some of the boys school friends come over to do it as well.

I will be okay if I don't see another graham cracker for another year.

I think I made (Colin helped with some) like 30 houses. Maybe more!?!
