a December not to be forgotten

So sorry for lack of posts but it has been BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSYYYYY Caleb was rushed to hospital with Swine then Measles then well a viral infection poor wee man! He is alright now and actually finally back at school where they are making stockings and practising for the Christmas nativity (he is a star), Ethan unaware of anything going on has been enjoying school where he is actually learning how to be a good Shepard for the nativity, and we are getting excited about his field trip that Mommy, Mason and Caleb are joining in on! We are all going to Bad Salsuflan for there Christmas market.

Speaking Christmas I swear one more Christmas party and I will SCREAM!!!!! Since last writing I have been to the LAD kids Christmas party which was amazing, kids played in the ball park enjoyed tons of food, met Santa and received a present!
That night mommy got a babysitter and went on the town with the lads in the LAD and had a blast! Was mega needed and the stress from all the little and big things slipped into the land of nod.

Saturday the boys and I hopped along with some friends to the PRI Christmas event and met yet another Santa who did very expensive pictures and got yet another present for the boys.

Sunday we had a blast! We went on a steam train ride to a small Christmas market on the edge of Gutersloh. Saint Nicholas and Black peter walked along the train meeting the kids and handing out Chocolate! At the fayre we made stain glass candle holders, Christmas cards and even some lovely Christmas decorations!!! Came home quiet late and the boys went straight to bed ready for school on Monday.

Sadly that night I got a phone call I have known was coming, my dad passed away Sunday afternoon peacefully well listening to Christmas music. Though I am sad to see him go I am pleased he is no longer in pain and never reached a bad mental state which is common with brain cancer.
