Zoooooooooooo lights!

Our first trip to see ZOO LIGHTS ~ It even snowed on us, but thankfully we were bundled up!

Preschool Christmas Parties!

Oh how I love Christmas... and our preschool... and parties... So having TWO Christmas preschool parties in one week just about puts me over the edge... in a good way :) Madeline especially embraced the "Santa with the short beard" with a long, long, long, long, LONG hug! I think the other kids were starting to get impatient with how long she was taking to hug the jolly dude. She informs me every day that the real Santa has a short beard (none of these long shiny, polyestery beards will fool this child). She is perceptive and EXCITED, as is Marin about "Jesus' birthday helper" this year!

Growing up...

Facial hair already, where has the time gone...

Saint Nicholas Day...

... is a day to remember the real St. Nick, a man who wanted to be like Jesus by bringing joy those less fortunate. It is a Corrigan tradition to celebrate this day, and we enjoyed a special visit from Nana & Poppy, topped off by the presentation of Christmas jammies from us to the kids. I think my girls will be wearing these every day until Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree

We visited a new tree farm this year, Sleighbells in Sherwood. So fun!

A Christmas Preview......

The Corrigan kids are going glam for Christmas this year. Only because of Max ~ a little boy in a 3 piece suit makes me giddy :)  These pictures were taken BEFORE the studio appointment, which was filled with shenanigans (of course!)... So... a little preview :) Those of you celebrating the holidays with us this year will most likely be seeing a lot of these outfits...

Let it snow...

... even one inch of snow brings delight to my children! Bring on the full snow attire, sleds & snow insect (this is all we could create with so little). It was fun while it lasted!

It's not as bad as it looks...

... but it is definitely worth a picture! Kyle had a mole removed from his head, and they bandaged him good to keep the pressure on it to stop the bleeding. Let's just say he got a LOT of sympathy from the three mommies (i mean ladies) in his life ~ there is something about a man in a head bandage that just screams "take care of me!"... We love our daddy!
