ECE Christmas Parties

I took a half day off of work to go to the kids Christmas parties. It was fun being able to be home with them in the morning, and a little stressful! :) They were so excited about their parties and excited that I was taking them to school.

Since we had two parties going on at the same time Trent and I went back and forth. He started off in Cooper's room and I started in Madison's. We switched every 20 minutes or so for the hour+ time of the parties.

Decorating a cookie! Pretty sure he has enough sprinkles!

They listened to a story while the table was cleaned off and prepared for their food!

They ate a snack and had a birthday cake for Jesus!

They do a gift exchange with their friends

Madison had a fun party too! This is her with her friend Analee

They did a craft instead of decorating a cookie

Then they had a snack and a birthday cake for Jesus!

After their snack they did their gift exchange

They ended their party with a game!

We had a good morning. It was a fun time celebrating the birth of our savior with our kids and their friends. We are so thankful for the friends our kids have made and the teachers that love on them daily.

Nichols Christmas 2013

We celebrated Christmas with the Nichols side on December 16th. Van & Kathy hosted us. We headed to Celina after church and spent the afternoon/early evening there. We had snacks, did gift exchanges and let the kids open gifts. The guys took the kids to ride the horses and we took a lot of pictures! As always, it was a good time and refreshing to spend the afternoon with family. This was our first of many (6) Christmases.

Our family- Trent gets irritated that we have to take a family picture at every holiday/event! One day he will appreciate it. :) I don't know why that one is stuck on the left. I can't get it to move.
