A couple weekends ago, we had 2 families over that I met in my mom's group in the city---we are lucky one family lives super close (only a mile----how fun, they ended up in Palatine--and we are able to see them quite a bit) and the other family moved back to PA (where they are from) but they were visiting and all of us were free to get together for brunch! We had a full house of 8 kids and 6 adults...but it was so fun and to think that the older kids have known each other for 4 year....thats pretty special!
Here they all are...won't it be fun when there are 9!
One of our Advent activities was to make a gingerbread house. Parts were very fun (and other parts---well caused 4 letter words to run through my head). The boys were good and liked some parts....but when the whole thing fell apart, the roof collapsed, Marshall threw handfuls of sprinkles all over the floor multiple times, they both smeared icing all over the table while eating way too much....not to mention Brayden was crying because it fell apart....there was a small (okay maybe BIG) part of me that asked myself why do I do this every year. Note to self---get a preassembled one next year.
However...it did turn out pretty great in the end
Last Saturday, we headed to breakfast with Santa. It was great. The food is great (and no cooking or mess at our place which makes it even better), there is no line/no waiting to sit with Santa, and the kids made crafts. And the end of the event, there was a magician....he was super funny....and really picked on Aaron :) Brayden was amazed that he could take off his finger----he is still asking how he can do it!
I would like: a monster scare factory, all the monsters, and a Darth Vader mask....
I'm not sure about this guy...
And he still was not.....but I think this picture is pretty priceless!!!!
