It’s Party Time!!!

The kiddos went to their first Christmas party ever last Friday! They had a blast! It was our MOPS party. Oh. It went so, so, so much better than the Halloween party went. It is amazing how much help one extra person can be. The party would NOT have been fun had it not been for Mimi. I would have left in tears. Instead, when we left I felt happy….minus the lamp the kids broke as we were about to leave….eek!

They had the party set up perfectly. It was in the most perfect size room. That had TONS and TONS of toys on the floor for the kids to play with. After we played for a while, we did crafts. Once again, this would have been awful had it not been for Mimi. It was fun to do the crafts with the kids. However, Josh was much more interested in playing with the cars. No one would let me trace their hands or feet happily. They all kept trying to eat the foam stickers for the other project. It was still fun. They would check out what I was doing, then go play, then come back, and repeat.

After the crafts, we decorated cookies. My kids had never done this before! They were so funny. Every time I put a piece of candy on a cookie, they picked off the candy and ate it! It should not have surprised me how much candy the kids can shove in their mouths at one time! We did make a slight mess on the floor from sprinkles and the like, but that just swept on up!

This party was so perfect! I felt like I got to know some other moms and kids better. That made it even more special! Oh what a merry Christmas it is.

Thanks again Mimi. We loved you!

I love you all.
