Hayven's preschool Christmas party!

Hayven had her Christmas party at school on Friday. They had pajama day and watched the Polar Express before the party. They had lollipops and got to decorate a gingerbread man. It was a fun time and even Jordyn got to join in on the fun. Hayven loves her school and it is great to get to go and see her interact with her friends at school. I was so excited to get to talk with on of the moms that is Hayven's good friend, Caison. I found out what they have in common and why they get along, they are both adopted and so I think that is awesome. I hope that they can stay friends for a long time!

Cookie Party with Brynn and Collin!

Today we went to our friends house for their annual cookie party. The girls got to decorate some cookies and had a great time. Jordyn enjoyed eating the candies that were on the tables more than actually put them on her cookie, but thank goodness there was plenty to go around because she loves some candy and marshmellows. They each got to make 3 cookies and they were so excited to get to bring them home and eat one this afternoon. It was a great afternoon and we look forward to doing this again next year!

Then, they got to play dress up with their friends and Jordyn is so cute posing in her little princess dress.

Here are my two little cookie makers in their aprons that were given to them by Brynn!

Christmas at the Arboretum!

We went to the Arboretum last weekend for a day with Santa Claus. It was really nasty weather outside and so we really did not get to walk around the flowers, but just went inside to have fun with Santa and Mrs. Claus and do some crafts. The girls really enjoy anytime that they get to see Santa and so this was another fun experience for them. Hope that you enjoy all the pics that we took of our fun afternoon.

The girls with Mrs. Claus even though when we got there Hayven said that this was not her because she was not wearing the red and white outfit like Santa does.

Jordyn with Santa Claus, so excited that she likes him this year.

Providence Christmas Celebration!

Tonight we had our annual Christmas celebration in our neighborhood. We go every year and it is always a fun time. We go and see the Christmas tree being lit, then ride the horse drawn carraige, and then get to see Santa. It was very cold this year and so it made the lines seem even longer than normal. The girls did not seem to mind at all and really did not seem cold. Here are some of the pictures of our fun time tonight.
