Party's, Party's, Party's

It's that time of year, where there are party's to be had by all.  We started out the week by having our music group "Christmas Party."  After music group we helped the kids make christmas tree's and snowmen.  Everyone had a great time during the "making" phase of the craft, but especially loved the "eating" phase after everything was done.  How delicious it was to eat the fluffy snowmen and  frosted graham cracker trees.  


I guess we were segregated at this craft table-boys on one side and girls on another


These cute trees were just graham crackers cut diagonally, frosted on the edges, and lind with M&M's.   F.Y.I.- I prepped all of the graham crackers and it is tougher than you think to cut a graham cracker on the diagonal. 

Cute Samson loved eating every piece of both his creations

I think most of the boys ended up eating their plate fulls and not many of the girls touched theirs.  Allie wanted to bring her's home to show dad

Randall Santa Party

The next party that I was absent for was over at Blake's cousins.  Santa attended this dinner and I guess Allie was just thrilled once again about seeing Santa.  I have lost count of the number of Santa's that Allie has met this year.  I am just glad she hasn't put all the pieces together and asked why all the Santa's look so different.

I guess Allie just stood here for quite awhile and also stood in front of the kid's at one point just to get a better look at the jolly man

Allie is into giving Santa hugs.  When we went to the mall earlier this day and saw a different Santa,  Allie gave the mall Santa a hug.   Also at this party she gave a little snuggle

White Elephant Party

Well to top of the week, we had our annual White Elephant Party at Papa and Grandma's to attend.  We look forward to this event every year.  There is always good food and a lot of laughing.

Allie was not a participant in the game this year, but got an adorable Minnie and cozy "Wilbur" blanket as she calls it.  The pig is like Wilbur from Charlotte's Webb she told me, so it's her "Wilbur" blanket

Grandma Deb and Allie

Allie also got this adorable story book.  It's a book all about herself

Grandma Deb brought out a box of knit items that she was giving away.  Allie had such a fun time playing dress up with all of the scarves and hats.  I guess I better get on the hunt for some fun items for the dress up box

Papa decided to join in on the dress up fun too
