Just a quick entry to share some of the fun things we've done this week. Earlier in the week we had Libby and Jax join us for a cousin sleepover. We had our traditional candle light dinner, then the kids decorated Christmas cookies, painted their nails and made their own trees and wreaths!
It was a fun time.
Rach, Brent, Ben and Kat have all arrived and we are definitely in party mode! This family knows how to partay!
Last night (after Rach took my families photos;) we had the "1st annual gingerbread competition." It was major sugar overload, but the kids enjoyed it. As did the adults. The Dad's took the job of assembling the house quite seriously:)
These are the completed houses. You may notice Jordan in many of these pictures. That's because after everyone else had finished and moved on to other things Jord-remained. Laboring tirelessly on his...ur...I mean his kids' house. His house wins for "most time consuming-yet innovative design!"
Well, it is Christmas Eve, and the kids are E.X.C.I.T.E.D!
I love Christmas Eve even more then Christmas Day.
We'll take the kids to play at the gym; Eat a yummy Steak and Crab Leg dinner (as per the Hardy tradition); Re-enact the Nativity, and drive around to look at Christmas lights.
Finally, we will tuck the kids in to bed, and they will astonish us with how willingly they fall asleep!
That's when John and I will do the whole "Santa Thing" before snuggling on the couch to watch our favorite Christmas show.
Could any day be more perfect?
Merry Christmas to all of our Family and Loved ones.
We hope it is delightful for you to!!!
