I've been a slacker in the blogger world. Even though it's a little late I want to show some pictures of some of the holiday festivities that I actually took pictures of. First of all we got to help Grandma decorate her Christmas tree. Everyone enjoyed that.
We especially enjoyed Grandma's homemade eggnog. It's just not Christmas time until we've had some eggnog.
Then, about a week later we got to decorate our own tree. Again the kids all had a great time. We brought in a step stool so that not all the ornaments were at the bottom of the tree. We wanted to kids to be able to reach a little higher. As a result, we had lots of ornaments at the top of the tree and we had to finally take the stool away so they would put ornaments on the bottom of the tree. I guess the idea of climbing high was just way to much fun.
We had our friends, the Reeves and the Beers, over for family night. The Reeves brought their chocolate fountain to enjoy. They kids really enjoyed it. They made a huge mess. But it was fun seeing them have so much fun. However, I think we will put the chocolate fountain away until the kids are a little older. Old enough to clean up their own messes.
After we cleaned up the mess of the chocolate fountain, we decided to make a new mess as we decorated gingerbread houses. We each did one house as a family. Sadie joined the Reeves family. I guess she figured they didn't have enough help.
The boys decided our house needed more candy, so they just started dumping the candy on.
This is the final creation, before the house collapsed because it was too heavy.
Oh what fun holiday memories!
