 |
| Did a LOT of eating! |
 |

 |
| Buddy the Elf was happy with our creations! |
 |
| Joey's ready for Santa! |
 |
| It was time... his hair was getting so long. He did great sitting in his car! |
 |
| and then broke down at the end! I'm not sure he likes it! :( |
 |

 |
| Time to make the gingerbread house |
 |
| The girls were laughing because Daddy was being funny with the icing |
 |
| Almost time to decorate and get crazy with the candies |
 |
| As you can see, Brooklyn disappeared under the table quite a few times to sneak some sugar in here and there. She is an elf... |
 |
| Finished product! |
 |
| Getting ready to head to Brynn's Christmas Concert at the Glendale Foothills Library - she was SO excited! |
 |
| This was the cutest thing I have ever watched... |
 |
| Brynn was amazing and was the loudest singer in the bunch. She knew every word to every song and just let it out! I was SO SO proud of her! |
 |
| A bunch of her friends from school |
 |
| The kids with Ms Linda - we just love her! After the concert, there were snacks and treats and Brynn came up to me and said "I've been waiting for this night for so long! I was just so excited!" ... my heart melted, she is so sweet. |
 |
| Here are some pictures from Brynn's Christmas party at school. They had a book exchange so they're passing the book around and whenever the music stops, you keep your book! |
 |
| Ms Linda is great about having different stations set up to keep the party flowing. Here they're making gingerbread houses - this part was outside and yes - it was cold! |
 |
| They made these cute snowmen from patio pavers! |
 |
| and surprise!!! a fire truck came at the end! |
 |
| Talking to her friends on the radio! |
 |
| Our curious little Brooky wanted a Curious George party - so we delivered! Daddy never disappoints with the balloons! As you can see, Miss Brooke found lipstick somewhere :) |
 |
| SO HAPPY! |
 |
| Everything is ready - now where are our friends?! |
 |
| First we decorated Xmas trees using a sugar cone. These kids loved getting messy just as Curious George would do! |
 |
| and of course, more went into Brooky's mouth than on her tree! |
 |
| Then we played ring toss with the yellow hats |
 |
| Our finished trees - so cute! |
 |
| After playing musical bananas, they all won reindeer antlers! |
 |
| Time for CAKE! |
 |
| Make a wish baby girl! |
 |
| PRESENTS!!! |
 |
| Fun with friends |
 |
| It was the best party ever :) |
 |
| and everyone left with a new book and coloring book! |
 |
| The girls are ready to see Santa! They have their lists and once Brooky finds her shoes and Brynn puts on her other one - we're out the door! lol |
 |
