The boys came to sleep over a couple weeks ago. Chloe came for a few hours while Jennifer and Paul went on a date nite. The plan was to decorate the Christmas tree. I have had the boys come over to do this for the past couple years and we've had a blast! They started decorating as soon as their coats and boots were off=o) And even before Chloe was out of her car seat and Jenn and Paul were gone.
Everybody helped out and they loved it!
This is what little Miss Chloe was doing while we were decorating;o)
Seth was very proud of this branch because it had 6 ornaments on it. I have always let the kids decorate it exactly how they like to and I never rearrange the ornaments that they put up(unless they're too low and the dog starts taking them off the tree). I want them to see each time that they come that the special ones they did are still exactly where they put them.
This is the finished product=o) I wanted a nice picture of the boys, but of course Ethan was acting like a clown;o) I love these guys!
All lit up so nicely=0)
Ethan dancing on the couch, asking me to take a picture of him
My little Dolly after she just woke up. She's thinking whether she should smile or not;o)
Yup, she decided she was happy enough to give me a bunch of sweet smiles!
My house kind of gets rearranged when the boys come. Anything that can move, gets moved. I don't mind as long as it all gets put back when they're done.
Ethan wanted me to take a picture of him and his trucks.
Our gingerbread house. I bought a kit from Walmart so the boys and I could make it. The house was already together, so we just had to ice it and decorate it. At first Seth didn't like the idea because he had just done one at their house. But we did it on Saturday and he thanked me when we were done for getting the house for him and Ethan to decorate=o) So sweet and considerate Seth is!
The full candied house=o)
Good job boys!
This is my handsome nephews after they had their baths and we were ready to go to the VanDolder Christmas. They boys were soooo excited!
Chloe with her new little doll from Great Opa and Great Oma!
Ethan with his new cool car. He was one happy guy!
Seth on the other hand, was a little sad at first because all the young boys got the exact same car and he didn't want one that was the same as everyone else. But within 5 minutes, he was laughing and loving his new car!
Some of the family
$5 fun gift table and more family in the background
More family and beautiful Susie just wanted to get in;o)
My fabulous sister and brother in law
My dear Ma and Pop=0)
Pop opening his present. He ended up with the game TROUBLE
My wonderful brother and sister in law
Pop being just like Susie and wanting his debut;o)
Chloe watching her new doll, wondering what to make of it
Big smiles for Papa=0)
We were all wearing red
My beautiful niece and I=0)
The nice table settings(minus my ugly camera bag). We had our dinner catered by Kathy's catering. It was a delicious turkey dinner!
My Opa teaching his grandkids and great grandkids the rite way to play pool
Betty and sweet Jessalyn
Oma and her newest Great Grandchild=O) I've lost count as to how many great grandkids there are. I think there are 9 or 10. Pretty amazing that they get to see these little ones grow up!
