It seems like all the craziness of Christmas came before Christmas. Was it that way for you? We attended a Christmas party complete with an appearance from Santa himself. Out of all of our children these three were the only ones brave enough to go near Santa.
All of the children were given Christmas gifts that fit them perfectly.
Clowns were on hand to paint faces and make balloon animals.
Elizabeth wanted a little lady bug on her face.
Decorating cookies was also a fun activity for the children.
Home Depot sponsored a tic-tac-toe craft which involved a lot of hammering and glueing of pieces.
Decorating sugar cookies has become a tradition so, at the last minute, we invited our foster children's sisters to come and join us.
The kids loved it!
Their masterpieces were pretty darn cute!
Christmas eve was spent making homemade ravioli.
This might have to be a new tradition because we had a lot of helpers and the food was amazing!
Christmas morning began with a pit stop at Dunkin' Donuts before heading to church. Our church normally enjoys cake and coffee after the Christmas service but, the cake was overlooked. Donuts were a welcomed sight.
We came home after church and the children couldn't wait to dig into their gifts. There were so many gifts that we ended up having to place all of the children in separate areas of the house.
It was so crazy that we just brought the dumpster right into the house. By the end of the day we had filled 2 huge dumpsters and a recycle bin. Yikes! I hope your Christmas was fun and maybe relaxing. We're enjoying a little down time and are looking forward to Epiphany. How about you?
