12/26/2009 - Christmas, Programs and Dinos

This year was a first....we had Christmas at our house this year. Nana, Papa and Uncle Andy came for lunch(Ham, Oriental Salad, 2 types of rolls, Potatoes, and veggies) around 2, then we opened presents, and ate dinner(Chicken Pasta Salad and reuben dip with a few desserts) and finished off the night by watching a couple movies. Nana and Papa spent the night and were able to see the kids open all their gifts from Santa, we all had homemade cinnamon rolls and ham for breakfast.

Santa came to visit us on Christmas Eve
Christmas morning Conrad gave Darek a HUGE hug

Jada wrote a note to Santa to leave the presents upstairs instead of under the tree this year. She wrote " Dear Santa, Go that way"....then there is an arrow and a xmas tree. She didn't get help spelling so it isn't quite there.

Ok so I am finally updating my blog, I just stuck a whole month in each post. Google is being a pain and isn't letting me change the order of the photos. But here is what we have been up to the last few months

We had Quincy's 4th Birthday party today since his birthday is so close to Christmas. We had all of his little neighborhood friends over and then had a family party afterwards. The theme was Transformers, but we also had streamers for Spiderman, and light sabers for Star Wars. We played pin the all spark on the Transformer, Build a Transformer, fight with light sabers, and spray everyone with silly string for Spiderman, also blew up the big slide and had the kids play on that
