Merry Christmas Eve Eve

Supper Club Saturday Night Group Picture
Then Sunday, Ashley hosted a Gingerbread House Decorating Party. What fun! I can say it was a first for Sydney and I because I have never decorated one. It was a great party- thanks Ash!!!

We used McDonald's Happy Meal Houses, graham crackers and icing

Emma working really hard on her beautiful house

Sydney mostly wanted to eat the decorations ;) which is fun too!

Elli working so hard on her house

Sydney finally got smart and used the twizlers to scrap the icing off to eat instead of decorate.

Playing in the girls really fun Rose Cottage. Hum... 2nd Birthday idea?

Then Monday morning, Aunt Erin had Sydney and I in our PJ's over for breakfast (she even bought Cracker Barrel pancake mix). Then Sydney got to open a gift- ELMO!!!!!!

I would say it was a hit- what do you think? (It sings the ABC's and is really soft)

Last night we went to eat with my dad and step mom and Uncle John. It was a great meal and then it was present time. It was so funny, Sydney literally tore just the top of the paper off and screamed out "ELMO!!!!" This is the Elmo Live that does 30 or so different things and she loves it!

Nanny D and Poppa Gene spoil Sydney rotten and she is crazy about both of them.

Playing Gran Jan's piano, where I learned first took lessons.

We are looking forward to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!!!!!!
