The red sweater is out so it must be Christmas! I was invited to a wonderful party by a good friend. It was thrown by one her friends in Surprise. I didn't know anyone, (my friend only knew a couple of people) didn't have obligations to plan or clean. We could just go and enjoy ourselves. It was AWESOME. The food was incredible! The theme was My Favorite Things and each guest was asked to bring 5 items of one of their favorite things at Christmastime. I brought my family's special recipe for hot chocolate mix and loved the variety things of five items I got in return. Such a fun idea!
We were invited over to our friends, Sally and Olivia's, to make Christmas cookies. We attempted a craft but I forgot the glitter and we didn't want to use a glue gun around two extremely helpful girls, so settled to have a picnic on the living room floor while we watched A Muppet's Christmas Carol. A totally fun morning!
It was mine turn to host Friend School this week. The theme was the letter M, we learned a little about music, decorated #10 food storage cans and turned them into drums! We practiced drumming to the The Little Drummer Boy and make a racket!
I was feeling ambitious and we decorated graham cracker houses as well. To my surprise, it went so smoothly. The kids had so much fun and loved making them.
We had a surprise visit today from Katherine's favorite people, the Beazers. The girls immediately threw off their clothes to get their princess gear on, chasing each other all over the house, yelling "The power of destiny! The power of destiny!" It was hilarious!
I'm just really grateful that fun times have returned and we are loving every minute!! We love you all for sticking it through with us. Here's to the best Christmas yet!!
