Holiday Festivities

We have been busy this holiday season. And I decided that I should post something before Christmas is upon us! Bobby has enjoyed so many different activities this year from decorating the tree to making graham cracker houses with his friends. Sue was brave enough to have all of us (11 toddlers and mommies) over for this activity! It was totally chaotic but definitely fun. Unfortunately, Bobby's architect and graham cracker mason(me) was not very good, and our house did not last long. But we have learned from our mistakes and will do better next year...I hope!

We have searched out a tree, deocorated the house and had fun looking for the Elf on the shelf each morning.

We also went to the Holiday Express at Pullen Park with our friends the Thomenius's. Bobby had a great time...a train and lights...what more could a little boy want!! The wait in line was a bit much for him, but overall, it was a great experience.

And finally, I went to a cookie exchange with my friends...without any kids! It was such a great evening being able to relax and enjoy some mommy time...thanks Heather. Although, it seemed that all we talked about were the little ones:)

We hope that everyone has a great Christmas and I will post more at the end of the week! Merry Christmas.
