Alexandria's first slumber party

Alexandria had her first slumber party on Friday night. Times have changed...my first slumber party was when I was 8 years old...I think. One of the girls turned 7 on Friday and wanted to have a few friends over to spend the night including Alex. I was very hesitate at first...she's only 5...but we thought it's only next door. They girls did their nails, ate pizza, watched movies and played games. So, needless to say she had a blast. She was very tired the next day but she loved every minute of being a total girly girl. I am sure this is the start of many future slumber parties.

Fun Christmas Activities

For Family Home Evening we did a gingerbread house. We manage to do this every year but they always seem to fall down. This year was the best because that did not happen. This kit came with a tray to hold it up. It worked! The kids loved decorating the house.

I think it looks pretty good.We also did jello jigglers with Christmas cookie cutters. Brady is holding a snowman and yes, he is wearing his Buzz Lightyear Halloween costume :) Alexandria is holding a Christmas tree. This was really cute. Such easy but fun activities for them to do.

Grandpa's Visit

I am a little behind in blogging because grandpa came to visit on Thanksgiving. I should have blogged this before the "leg lamp." ha ha ha But we had a great time with grandpa. We showed him around Monterey. The kids loved spending 4 days with grandpa. We took grandpa to see the sea lions but the gate was closed...no sea lions. but the ocean was beautiful!!!!!

We love you!
