Christmas with friends


This is our annual Christmas with our friends. We take turns hosting and this year it was at the Gallahue's house. Brian and Jenny knew someone who owned a Santa suit and he volunteered to come and visit with the kids during the party...it was wonderful. They were all so excited to see him and give him there long lists of presents. The Gallahue'e s had one last surprise for the kiddies. Brent made individual gingerbread house's for the kids to decorate...he pulled out all the fixin's four different kinds of icing and almost any kind of candy you could ask to decorate their special houses. What a hit...they know how to through a party. I couldn't help but think how fortunate our children are to have such a wonderful Christmas party...seeing their excitement gets me really excited for this glorious season. Above is a pic of their completed houses.
Ashlyn was not so eager to see him. She was okay at first and then down came the tears.
Sophia did great as usual. I remember listening to her give her list to him and she said "and I what a Kai-Lan doll...she's really cool." Toby and I looked at each other and I swear we were both thinking the same the same thing...great the one gift we did not get her! Needless to say she will arrive Christmas day as requested.
Our friends are so creative. Sophia received a jewelry box from Samantha filled with rings, bracelets and necklaces...what a fabulous gift. She loves it and I would have never thought to get it for her.
