The Elkinton Four

Jackson had a fun filled afternoon with his class and Grandma and Coppa.  Jackson's class was making gingerbread houses, take a look!   Ahh... the masterpiece!!!   No... he didn't actually eat it! 

Charliebug was in a Christmas Celebration in his first grade class followed by an open house at school.  Mommy and both sets of Grandparents got to attend!   Charlie and his friend, Matthew!   Buggy and Daniel!   There he is... the little cookie!   Oh no... Daniel and Charlie are the only two cookies not eaten by the cookie snatcher!!!   Then it was back to Bug's classroom for an open house where he showed us around!   We all helped with a story project!   Mrs. Montoya and our little star!   Our morning ended with Charlie reading us an entire book!  We are so proud of him! 

Jackson has been playing field hockey, coached by one of the U.S. Olympic Team Field Hockey players, Kevin Barbar.  He played this last Saturday for the Olympic View Team at the U. S. Olympic Training Center right here in Chula Vista  and his team won the tournament! Jackson with Coach Kevin! 

Baking cookies for Christmas is a favorite tradition that goes way back to my Grandma Sawicki and my mom when I was just a small girl.  I am so lucky to continue this tradition every year either at my house or my mom's house with my own two boys and Noah.  This year was no different... off to Grandmother's house we go!   Mommy's little chefs!   Everyone got in on decorating the sugar cookies!   Even Goggle decorated a gingerbread cookie!
