Parties

I was so happy to help host Danny’s first grade class holiday party.  It was so cute to see him with all his friends!

Here he is playing “Pin the Nose on Frosty”:

And making an ornament craft (yay for Pinterest helping me come up with a quick and easy craft!):

And his beloved teacher opening her gift from the class:

Danny is making a lot of progress in his reading level, and even though he’s still not crazy about the act of reading, I know I can always get him to read to his little sister (as long as I can get his little sister to sit for his reading!):

And finally I’m getting to pictures of the actual Christmas holiday!  Here’s a few pics from our Christmas eve party at Jim and Jan’s house:

Susie gives the food two thumbs up!

And we were so excited our dear friends Jim and Kathy joined us this year:

And the kids started the gift-apalooza with wonderful outfits from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Mary and Bubba and Pappy:

And then we came home and I put the finishing touches on the gifts.  We thought we had taken it easy on gifts this year, but based on this picture, I’m not sure that worked out!
