Our first week of break has been eventful! We started out with Eli's ear tube surgery and a day of taking it easy... not so easy with a busy 2 year old! We made another special dinosaur cake to have on the evening of his real birthday! He loved it.
We moved on to a having some friends over for a morning and we made graham cracker Christmas huts (cheap and easy gingerbread houses) and made red and green play dough. It was great fun. Hannah and I went Christmas caroling with a group from church. Hannah found this to be a wonderful experience. She was so sweet and sang out the carols!
Last night we went down to Lewiston to see the big light display. It was amazing! Eli was in heaven. He loves Christmas lights, and he just couldn't get enough! Hannah and Isaac thought it was amazing too. It was quite cold though, so we didn't stay as long as we had hoped.
Tonight we went to a fun Christmas party as a house of a good friend from church. Hannah was very excited to wear a beautiful dress. Isaac was just excited to go to a party and Eli wanted to make sure he was going where Mommy was going. It was a fun time and Eli was in his glory, finding yummy snacks, trying to blow out candles, passing out the holiday coasters that looked like big peppermints and sitting by the fire that was "nice and warm." Hannah and Isaac drew beautiful pictures and chatted with people they knew.
Tomorrow will be fun with Christmas Eve festivities at my parent's house and then church in the evening. The kids will be opening a special gift before church, their new Christmas clothes. They will also get their Christmas pajamas to wear that night. Such fun!
