We hosted a little Christmas party at our house on Friday night. All of our friends from playgroup came, 12 kids in total, 4 were newborns, and 11 adults. The kids had a lot of fun and participated in an ornament exchange. I, of course, stayed up late cleaning the house after everyone had left!



Before the guests arrived! Brooke was really excited to have all of her friends over! And for the most part we were very impressed with her behavior, she shared her toys very well with everyone!

Reindeer drinks that I made

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nick soon would be there...

Christmas cards displayed....

Santa visited our neighborhood yesterday. This was the first year Brooke actually sat on Santa's lap. Her first two Christmas' we didn't bother, and last year my mom stood in line with her for about a half hour and when Brooke got to the front she decided she did not want to see him. Jade wasn't interested in seeing Santa this year either, but was more than willing to say 'cheese' if I held her...

Brooke told Santa she wanted a robot (no idea why she said that one) and a Princess puzzle
