Our Christmas Party

We had a Christmas Party today and some of our friends came. Once everyone got there, the first order of business was to decorate "gingerbread" houses. (By the way, this was way more work for the moms than for the kids. It looks nice and easy on the back of the box, and when Rachel Ray and Martha do it, they come out so nice. But let me tell you, graham crackers aren't as square as you think they are. This results in a very drafty gingerbread house. And I'm also pretty sure that Rachel Ray or Martha didn't do this activity with 3 almost 3 year olds who put on the gumdrops as fast as you could get the frosting on.) Evie is very proud of her decorating skills on the gingerbread house.
Laura, Ethan, and Evie show off their handiwork.
Post craft time, the kids ran around in circles working up an appetite for lunch.
They rounded out the party with some time in the toy box. After they emptied out all the toys, of course.
