Christmas Fun!

We have been busy the past few days with Christmas parties, cookie making and wrapping presents! We are in the Christmas spirit for sure around here! Friday Parker and Laney both had their Christmas parties at school. Parker had chapel before his party and I got to sit in on the first half. So special, the kids from all the grades each had a verse or 2 from the Christmas story and they all recited it one after another. I love his school and so glad we are apart of it! Then he had his party. They ate, made the cutest little snow globes and then Santa came. Later that day, Laney had her party. They ate and got presents. Then Santa came in the door. See below the terrified look on her face when Santa was in the room. As he got closer to her, one of the Moms said to me oh look she is shaking. She literally was shaking she was so scared of him! As he got closer she just screamed and latched onto me. I did not have the heart to force the screaming picture. I mean bless her heart she was terrified and shaking! Yesterday, we rolled out, cut and decorated Christmas cookies. The kids had so much fun! This is something we will for sure do every year! Enjoy the pictures and you really should start at the bottom and go up!
The finished product...are they not the best looking cookies you have ever seen?

Daddy came in from work and helped in the rolling and cutting of the dough. He was good at it!

Getting ready to make the cookies. Flour first! Laney loved this part!


Do you see this look on her face? Yes, Santa just walked in. She was terrified of him! Literally she was shaking!! I did not have the heart to force her to sit with him!


Yummy snack!! Laney I don't think you should sit like that at the table.

We have started having a few friends over to decorate cookies. We have done this for a few years. They all love it too! After Christmas Connor and I decorate a gingerbread house. We enjoy having something to do after the thrill of Santa is over. Cute pictures too!
