Air Products Children's Christmas Party - Brent's work hosts a party for all the employees' children. There were crafts, balloon artists, face painting, pictures with Santa, and even presents. It was a fun party. For at least a month after, when we dropped off Brent at work, Derek would say, Daddy going to Christmas party.
Making a gingerbread train. The boys did a great job. I didn't get a picture of decorating the tree, but the boys had lots of fun helping with that. I was proud of myself for allowing them to help more with decorating. I usually take control so things will be done my way, but I took a step back and actually let the boys just have fun and it still turned out great.
Christmas Eve cookie decorating - We were invited by our friends the Smiths to spend Christmas Eve in their home, along with the Bryce family. The kids all had a great time playing together. After a delicious dinner, the kids had fun decorating cookies for Santa and eating them as well.
Merry Christmas! We had a nice, quiet Christmas at home.
We spent New Year's Eve with more friends, the Southworths. We enjoyed yummy food and visiting with good friends. The kids had a blast watching Ryan set off fireworks. Derek was fascintated by them. We stayed until 10:45 when we figured the kids had had enough. I'm glad we've made good friends here who were so kind to invite us into their homes for our first holidays away from family.
Your boys are brave! Your house looks beautiful too.
