A Night at the Holkos

Seems like time is flying by lately. We are just 10 days away from Christmas! Hard to believe, isn't it?

Tonight, we had nothing in particular to do. It was great.

We had dinner together, which was pretty tasty. Mom made us lasagna.

We followed that up with a show. It started with Mom reading a Christmas story and somehow turned into Dad acting out silly things with the hand puppet.

You can tell he's really into it.

That Dad of ours...

We spent some time hanging out and playing with our dogs. And sitting on them. Gotta love Golden Retrievers.

We cuddled Daddy.

We even kissed him!

Then it was time to brush our teeth. Jake helps me do it since he's so big now.  We even keep most of the toothpaste in the sink.

Thank, a quick show before bed. Three Holko boys on the couch.

(Anyone else notice the grip dad has on the remote?)

Life is good around here.

Love,
R

Little Drummer Boy

Our teacher asked us to practice our song at home. We will be having our Christmas show at school on Monday night.

I've really been practicing a lot.

I've even put my own spin on the song. Enjoy.

Hot Cocoa

It was a hot cocoa kind of morning in our house today.

It was actually pretty cold here last night. Like low 40s cold. We're sissies.

AND it's a good excuse to have hot cocoa for breakfast.



The countdown begins: 3 weeks til we are in Buffalo! (Where it is actually cold. We'll be needing lots of hot cocoa.)

Love,

Stomping Good Fun

Oh Aunt Becky, you sent a great present out here for Ryan!

When he first opened up the box, he was super excited about the big bubble wrap and immediately began stomping on that.

Just imagine how excited he was once we set up the actual present.

I even let him play with it for a little while.



We love it! I mean...Ryan loves it. Thank you so much for thinking of little Ryan. We can't wait to come back to Buffalo and give you, and everyone else, big huge hugs!

Love,
J

(Disclaimer: It had been a long day when this video was recorded and Dad had been out of town for a few days. You may have detected it in Mom's voice.)

Santa Claus Is Coming...

And apparently he's already watching me.

How does that guy know all of this stuff??

I'm on the nice list. At least for now.
