Christmas Joy

Christmas Eve
We had a lovely evening planed for Christmas Eve. Drop by a friend's party and then to church for a candlelight Christmas Eve service. Well we were at the party for about 20 minutes when Declan vomitted! Luckily we were outside, but so was everybody else. Decan sure has good timing for getting sick, the last time his cousins from Ireland were visiting! Thankfully it was a one and only vomit, (which never happens). He was okay for the big day just a little under the weather. Christmas day was wonderful- gifts, breakfast, games, naps and Diya family dinner.

Christmas time is here

 Santa Claus is coming to town. And we have been busy preparing.


We met Santa and Declan told Mr. C he wanted a boat with oars and Rory wants a punching bag!

We also made, painted and colored ornaments for our real tree.



























We have had enjoyed many nights of neighborhood house lights and visited one of our favorite houses and danced with Santa.

We've got moves!....








We had a play date with lots of girlfriends, Macy, Laney, Kate, Riley and Macy (2). Macy and Laney have a train that goes around their Christmas tree that Rory went Ape over. We made salt ornaments with their finger prints. Declan did the snowman and Rory did the tree and they each made a reindeer with their thumbprint.





We made soap for Declan and Rory's classmates for Christmas.




I had an adult night out doing arts and crafts with friends.
