On Friday, December 3 we had our second annual Christmas Sleepover Party at Grandma's house. Seven of the grandchildren were able to join us. We thought of all those who live too far away to be here. Maybe some year everyone can join us.
Baby Ellie made a brief appearance at the party.
Tanner and Adam entertained each other while the big kids did several activities.
We started by making sugar cookies. Everyone helped measure and pour and stir. Cracking the eggs was the favorite task and luckily the recipe called for 4 eggs so the 4 bigger kids each got to do one. We picked out a few shells and proceeded. I was glad that Becky was here to help out.
While the cookie dough chilled, we made french bread pizzas and had dinner.
After dinner we baked and decorated our Christmas cookies. Everyone was very creative.
We painted some ornaments and Grandpa took individual pictures of everybody so we could make ornaments with their pictures.
Easton loved playing with the train set and taught Adam everything he knows.
Addy and Landon enjoyed a game of slam-dunk basketball using the trampoline as a launch pad. Such boundless energy!!
The kids exchanged presents to finish off the evening.
Tanner and Adam are ready to call it a night. Thanks to everyone for coming and thanks to Becky and Dad for all their help.
This past week we enjoyed a visit with Kenneth's brother and sister-in-law, Bryan and Faye Nix, who were here visiting from their home in Virginia. We loved having everyone over for a family dinner on Tuesday.
