Christmas Party

This year we didn't really go to any Christmas parties, just our Christmas celebrations with our families, but we did have a kind of mini Christmas party with our friends the Lanzara's!  

Saturday after Christmas, they came over and played with their new toys and Jordan's new toys.  We had a nice meatloaf lunch, with macaroni and cheese for the non-meatloaf kids.  Believe it or not, both Chad and Jordan liked the meatloaf.  

While the kids were playing, April and I made funfetti Christmas cupcakes.  Once they cooled we all decorated them with green frosting, sprinkles, and holiday M&Ms.  It was messy and fun and yummy!

I think Braden was having fun!  Look at the smile!
Jordan had no problem getting messy!  He had frosting all over!  Braden thought he was crazy!
And then Jordan didn't think he wanted to use his hands any more, he just wanted to put his face right into his cupcake.  What a silly kid!
Next, we tried to watch Kung Fu Panda and paint pinecones.  The kids pretty much just ended up playing.

Jake doing a great job with the brush!
Jordan just put his pinecone right into the paint.  He also put the paint all over himself.  What does it mean if you have a green chin?
Ta da!  After they were painted, we put glitter on the pinecones, too.  They looked really cool!
It was lots of fun to just relax at home and to spend time together.  Jordan was excited to have kids over to play.  I'm already excited for next year's Christmas Party!
