Our Christmas Party

Last night we had a nice little party (Drama Free!) for Christmas and exchanging gifts here at our home.
Everyone had enough food and a good time (I think!) and all got a few nice gifts.
We had cheese pizzas, pepperoni pizzas, Dr. Pepper, 7 Up, frosted & sprinkled sugar cookies, Rice Krispie treats, and other assorted cookies.
Big S got a Target gift card & a bear from Jana, a Snoopy snow cone maker from Brandi & family, a Uno Spin game from Aunt Debi & Uncle Larry, and treats from cousin Ronnie.
Lil S got a Target gift card & a bear from Jana, a Barbie for President doll from Brandi & family, and Gator Golf from Aunt Debi and Uncle Larry.
Lil J got a LeapFrog school bus from Brandi & family and a Lego train/ shape sorter from Aunt Debi and Uncle Larry,
John and I got a set of three photo frame tree ornaments from Brandi and family, and a Target gift card from Debi and Larry.

Pictures will be posted later, after Ronnie and Brandi email me some and I transfer the one's John took for me.


Throughout the week I've been letting the kids and John open gifts here and there just for fun and happiness.

So far Big S has opened a silver heart-shaped necklace, new jeans, "The Book of American Presidents", Paris Hilton perfume, a Squirmle, a felt coloring set with mini-markers, earphones (made especially for kids), and a Googly ball that vibrates and talks.

So far Lil S has opened pink furry socks, pink hearts and princess crown hair set, Hello Kitty socks, Hello Kitty sticker set, Hello Kitty puffy stickers, a puppy puzzle (54 pieces and already missing 17), a little girl puzzle (also 57 pieces), and a Googly ball that vibrates and talks.

They opened a present to both of them today, it's a Hello Kitty umbrella.

So far Daddy has opened steak marinades, a big & soft stuffed monkey, a Squirmle, a sausage-cheese-cracker-mustard set, erasable pen set (new product, very cool), and a book "The Lost Boy" which is a sequel to "A Child Called It". Those were from me (and some from me & the kids too), and Big S also made a bookmark and gave it to him.

I know I'm forgetting a few things, that's all I can recall right now.

Lil J doesn't care. and isn't getting a lot, so no early gifts for him.
