Here is an idea of what the decorations for her party looked like.
And here is my cake masterpiece, which is only impressive because as most of you know, I am NOT much of a cook . . . Blues Clues dog prints.
Once the party started, about twenty kids came to join the celebration. Our neighbors were kind enough to lend us this bounce house, which was a big hit with everyone.
After some bouncing and breaking open a pinata, it was time for cake.
Even at three, cake can get a little messy.
In the meantime, Zander found someone to flirt with . . . meet Lucy.
After things wrapped up, the kids decided to burn off some of the sugar by chasing each other around.
This morning, the kids decided to test out some of Charley's birthday presents.
This is evidence that Zander is just like Brian . . . more interested in the manual than the toy.
And here is a true action shot . . . me working on this blog right now.
So, it's Christmas Eve now, and from here on out, it's time to relax and enjoy the holidays. We are going over to our neighbor's house for a party this evening, and after that we will come home, put some cookies and milk out for Santa, put the kids to bed, and wait for his arrival. We are looking forward to tomorrow, seeing the looks on the kids' faces and watching them get excited about the whole affair. It sure is amazing how much more fun Christmas is again with kids in the picture . . . their joy and excitement, their innocence and happiness, it's all so contagious.
We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas on this wonderful day. Amid all the excitement and chaos, don't forget to say a special prayer this evening, thanking God for sending His son to be born on this special day and for all the blessings that we share. God Bless to you all!
