Other Christmas fun

January 10, 2018

Just a few more fun things we did leading up to Christmas…

I got to go up to Maxwell’s class to help them make a craft! I took pics of all the kids one day when I was at school one day and cut them out so they could “elf” themselves! These were my samples (which might hang on my fridge all year long!)…

It was fun to be up in the classroom with the kids and all of their elves turned out great!

I also went up to help with the Christmas party and they did a book exchange which was funny. I love seeing Maxwell in his element at school!

The boys got to go make gingerbread houses with James and his cousin, Rex. Maxwell has done this for a few years now but this was Spencer’s first time to get to to go!

Spencer also got invited to a Santa breakfast party the Saturday before Christmas – such fun!

These boys loved seeing Santa…and each other!

Samantha didn’t get invited to any special parties but, don’t worry, she fully enjoyed the spoils of the season too!

Gingerbread Elf

January 9, 2018

First, Roll Tide Roll! What a game…that overtime kept us up too late but we have some happy Bama fans at our house today! 17!

Like the past couple of years (2015 and 2016), Gingerbread Elf came to visit before Christmas! He doesn’t have to do too much reporting back to Santa on my kids because they’re actually pretty well behaved, but he does usually bring a few fun surprises and do some funny stuff! He had some crazy antics this year…

he also brought them a book and some new ornaments…

he even hung from the ceiling one day!

The boys wrote him notes to take back to Santa…

Cookie Party

January 5, 2018

Like last year, I let the kids have a little Christmas cookie party a few days before Christmas. On Friday 12/22, they had a few friends over and went to town with icing and sprinkles! Luckily, I had a helper in town to make the cookies…

She had some helpers of her own! ha! We had everything ready for the crew…

and did plenty of taste testing along the way!

Samantha went heavy on the sprinkles…no surprise as she has always liked sprinkles!

I’d say we ended up with some masterpieces…

and then I got to decorate the extras!

Santa sure was happy with such good cookies left for him on Christmas Eve! A fun party to celebrate Christmas with friends!
