Parker's Christmas Party

Today was party day at school, and I was one of five mom's in charge of putting it together. The boys have acted a fool at past parties, usually because the food isn't stuff they life, so they just run amuck. I made sure this party was all food they like : ) Between PB&J, Chick-Fil-A nuggets, fruit, ham biscuits, M&Ms, cheese puffs, and cake, all the kids were in Heaven! They had a gift exchange between the kids, which they enjoyed very much. We also had ornamnets they could make Christmas trees they could decorate. It was a fun time! The Christmas carols they sang at the beginning were the best part though. Bryce joined the rest of the kids, although he just stood there and looked at everyone! There was also a surprise visit from Santa, which of course was a big hit!

Christmas Town at Busch Gardens

Saturday we ventured on over to Busch Gardens to enjoy Christmas Town. It was cold, but the boys were excited :) They didn't ride too many rides, but were super excited to ride the sky buckets and see all the lights and the train that took us the whole way around the park while listening to Christmas Carols, admiring all the lights, watching it snow, and even seeing a few deer. After about 3 hours, the boys were frozen and we couldn't get to the car fast enough!

Let it snow!

It has snowed three times now. The first was a dusting, then Monday it snowed pretty good but it had rained so it didn't stick to the roads thankfully, and then it snowed hard for several hours today. The boys have loved every bit of it. They begged to go outside today, and since there was no wind, I bundled them up after lunch and we headed outside until they couldn't take it any longer! We ran around, made snowballs, ate some snow, drew in the snow, and raked the snow. It was so peaceful....

Decorating the Tree

The boys were so excited to decorate this year. Bryce couldn't really help last year, and Parker wasn't all that interested, but this year they could hardly stand to wait. Granddad from Georgia moved here just days before, so the boys absolutely loved having him over to decorate with us :) Bryce has already broken more ornaments than I can count...thank God for superglue!

Parker and Kylie

Her mother and I have agreed to never, ever leave them alone together, haha
