christmas festivities

We fit a lot of holiday fun in after we finished the basement. The girls were such good sports with us working in the basement so much. So we kicked off the fun with my Parents' church Christmas party. The girls were so excited to see Santa.


She's next in line, can you tell??

Kennedy wanted to join Reagan on Santa's lap. Reagan rattled off a list of toys she wanted. Kennedy simply said a pillow pet.

Our playgroup had a Christmas party that was tons of fun again. We made ornaments, dipped pretzels, and had a dollar store gift exchange. The kids were so much fun!

We held our first ever tacky sweater party. (There's a shot of the basement for ya...) This is a pic of the men during the 'Christmas Sausage' game. Don't ask...

The girls modeling their own tacky sweaters and the reindeer antlers from one of our games.

Aren't those the best looking couples you've ever seen??! :)

We spent two different nights decorating a gingerbread house and a train. The kids ate the candies off the train 2 minutes after this picture...

Our church Christmas party. The kiddos went up and sang with the primary kids.

They got to visit Santa again to try to convince him off their niceness.

He even brought one of his elves along this time!
Well that leads us up to the week of Christmas - pictures to come!

You had a great lead in to Christmas - well, you had a lot of fun activities anyway - in addition to all the work.

Wow, your basement looks amazing! And did I catch that YOU did the framing? Impressive! The tacky sweater party is a great idea.
