Let the Celebrations Begin!

The Christmas season fun (and busy-ness) increases when you have a kiddo in school; here are the holiday celebrations that we enjoyed leading up to the big day.

K4 Christmas Party

Eli's class had a Christmas party on the last day of school before Christmas break. The kids made reindeer ornaments from their hand prints, listened to stories, decorated gingerbread houses, and played games. It was fun to be able to feel their excitement in the air.

Water Mama Holiday Gathering

We continued our tradition of celebrating Christmas with the Exercise for Two families - it is amazing to think how much that group has grown over the years. The kids had fun running around with their buddies, and we even got them all to sit in one place for a picture (thanks to Charlie Brown Christmas on TV). So thankful that this group of families is in our lives.

How did she get the train table all to herself?!

Friends Christmas Celebration

Another one of our favorite Christmas celebrations is our gathering with my college friends and all our families. We recently transitioned this party into a whole-family sleepover, which means the parents get a chance to chat and celebrate once all the littles are in bed!

yum, yum

So many kids (and smiles!), but still missing one...

...there they all are!
