Corbin at his Christmas Concert-in the middle-meanwhile.....

 Down below was a little drama that evolved between Flannel Shirt & Mr Vest, mostly the shirt boy bugging the vest boy- it was pretty entertaining!
The concert was great, so many cute kids.(Corbin was the cutest, but I'm prejudiced!)

Corbin is doing well & paying attention!

But down in front.Mr Vest is astonished at whatever Flannel shirt has said!

This look says it all!

Mr. Vest is fed up!  Looks like a couple other kids are losing focus too!

Santa James (with mustache, no beard....yet!) oversees the gifting.

 We went south for our pre-Christmas festivities with the kids. Brunch.(or second breakfast...Kelly!)  was REALLY yummy-thanks Tracey & Kelly! And thanks to Scott & Tracey for letting us " party up" your house! A good time was had by all!

Tracey gets a handmade "Corbin" ornament.

WOW.....Batteries!

Twin R.C. cars so they can RACE!

And no.....Corbin had not been drinking! 

Grampy & Corbin!

Hey, Perry on Corbin and on the wall!

It's exhausting!

Coda and Ginger get all snugglie on the couch.

It's all been too much for the girls!

Perhaps it was the eggnog?

Before.

After. I need to get a night shot.

What a crowd of kids!

 We spotted him and he spotted us by looking for Grampy's beard!
The auditorim was packed, SRO! It was a great program.
I'll leave the rest of the pictures for James to post! Stay tuned!

Heres Corbin!

 Corbin proudly shows off the awesome vest and bowtie that Kelly made for his school Christmas program.

Santa Corbin!

 We went down for our second Thanksgiving at Scott & Tracey's (Thank you both!)
On Sunday we went out Christmas tree shopping with James & Kelly & Corbin. It was a beautiful sunny day, not too cold, for hunting for the right tree. And just right for Corbin to sit in the sleigh. On Woody, on Poplar.....the regular reindeer were unavailable!

Heading out to find the tree.

The right tree!

Corbin lays down the mat for James to use while cutting and yelled "Timber" when it came down.

It's a group effort!

 Grampy, James & Corbin get down to business.

Corbin approves.

Heading out with the tree.

The neighbor's pumpkins.

 I LOVE when pumpkins start to go bad! I have a fantasy of traveling around and taking pictures of old pumpkins for a big coffeetable book. I thought of calling them mumpkins or lumpkins......but googling those words turned up some disturbing stuff, UGH. Maybe it'll just have to be...."When Pumpkins Go Bad!"
