I wanted to reorganized some of the kids' toys, making room for the new stuff Santa was bringing, which made for new interest in some forgotten toys. They built this balancing building themselves! And snack time in the bucket the blocks go in....
I was a little blown away by the them making a Potato Head Nativity scene...guess all our Advent devotions have been sinking in! Notice Mary is kissing baby Jesus at the very beginning of the video.
Young's boss and good friend, Michael, invited us over for Christmas Eve dinner party...kids allowed! It was so nice to be at an adult party but have children around. The kids had no problem fitting in and enjoying themselves. Michael lives on the top of a hill in Potrero Hill with amazing views of SF so we talked a lot about sky scrapers...
The children had just received these cute "Happy Nappers" (kinda like pillow pets but comes with blankets too) from our neighbors that day and they just had to bring them. They were enjoying Michael's deck with Happy Nappers and a little cheese plate.
Cameron LOVED the little lamb chops appetizers. I think she ate about three of them...looks like I need to get the recipe.
When dinner was served Young gave a toss to the host. We all clinked our glasses and the children wanted in on the toast fun, clinking their sippy cups and saying "Merry Christmas!" too.
They were having a white elephant gift exchange and Timo helped Daddy play the game while Cameron decided dessert was much more exciting.
We had a wonderful time at the party. Thank you so much Michael and Sally for inviting us into your home for Christmas! But as much fun as it was, it was time to head home and get the kiddies to bed so Santa could come. All nestled in while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads...
