Pre Christmas 2013

Jack'ee and Jason (and Jason's Mom) came over for dinner, gift exchange, and games. The last time we were with Jack'ee and Jason at IKEA they asked what the kids needed/wanted. I was excited to see them open presents because I KNEW how excited they would be with what they received.

I had the children open gifts from Jack'ee and Jason while they were there to see. IMG_7801 IMG_7805Regan got a new tool box set and a pillow pet. He has been sleeping with both since. IMG_7811IMG_7812Kaylee got all the play food Ikea has. "YEA! I don't have to remagine pretend food anymore!"

Kaylee’s Kinder Christmas party

Regan got to tag along to the class Christmas party. Small perk of being a home room Mom. 🙂

I made a pin the nose on Rudolf game and a giant candy cane pinata. The pinata lasted for all 18 of the students! Not gonna lie, I was pretty worried about someone not being able to get a turn.

The students all had these cute hats to wear that they made the day before.

We were all so excited for this Christmas vacation/trip. BUT we were most excited to meet the newest member or our clan. Baby Elara is so sweet and perfect. We all fell in love with this little miss.
