It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas. Everywhere you go.
We had many things to accomplish, but definitely took time out to play in the snow!
Our snowman I named Leaf. Guess which family didn’t do due diligence when it came to raking leaves this fall?
Lauren gave herself a huge project for the day. She wanted to make Toy Story 3 paper dolls for Sydney.
It started with Woody and Bullseye.
It kept her busy all day and was proud of herself when it was done. Then Lauren and Sydney played with them. The whole thing worked out great, because Trent and I were able to tackle the house and get it ready for hosting Christmas.
Chocolate Croissants I made for dessert for Christmas. Found the recipe in the St Louis Post Dispatch, crazy easy!
Lauren wanted to make sure Santa knew the reindeer were welcome to all our buffet we set out.
We went to the 4 o’clock children’s Mass.
Then went to Macaroni Grill for dinner.
Good thing their dresses are dark colors! Next stop is Cherry Pie party at The Ungers. There is much food at the Cherry Pie party, but no Cherry Pie. It’s a tradition in my dad’s family we all get together on Christmas Eve, but I don’t know why we call it the Cherry Pie Party. I’ve heard a couple vague reasons, but none of them really make sense. I just googled Cherry Pie Party thinking I would get some sort of Italian tradition history, but the only thing that came up was recipes for Cherry Pie.
Lauren and Aunt Mary
Grandpa Coco!
Big Cesare handing out gifts for the kids. Gotta love the Christmas Tree!
Successful Christmas Eve, fun had by all and now it’s time to go to sleep so the big guy can visit the house.
