Christmas Party Fun/Early Family Christmas

We had our Kindergarten party at school on Thursday. It was our last full day of school and the kids were actually pretty well behaved. I brought Tim to school with me since he is still not suppose to drive and he needed to get out of the house. Since his stroke, he has been cooped up in the house all day and has been kinda down. He sleeps all day and barely gets out of bed unless my dad or his mom come over and make him go somewhere with them. The kids loved him (they called him pirate with his eye patch) and he enjoyed himself.

Here is the setup for our party, we ordered happy meals and had a few snacks

Here are the 4, 343 Cornflake wreaths that mom and i stayed up until 9:00pm making

These were delicious! Sugar cookies with caramel kisses

and last but not least, my reindeer cupcakes I made! Of course, I should give credit to Pinterest!

That night we decided to celebrate Christmas early with my parents. We usually do it on Christmas Eve and then have the extended family over and it is chaos and rushed. This year, we thought if we do it early, it would be more relaxed. It was, don't get me wrong, but it was just a busy day for me with our parties and all at school.

Houston got his camera/camcorder! Santa is bringing him an underwater one too. He will be in Heaven as he loves to take pictures.

Gotta love those TIGERS! Thanks Mimi and Paw

This is all of our loot when we got home. We had such a great time laughing and having fun. We ordered Pizza Hut and had corn dip with chips and sat around laughing and slowly opening presents. Houston made mom the cutest homeade story book with photos. This brought up an old memory of my sister Holly from when she was 12 and we all got some grreat laughs from those old stories she use to write.

And....... I got my Coach purse! Couldn't have been more surprised! Best Gift EVER!

It was the last gift I opened, not on purpose and was hidden in HERE.

And yes, we STILL get presents from Santa! AND I WILL ADMIT~I LOVE IT!!!!!
