I do.
A special thanks to Gina who gave me the fantastic idea for a gingerbread house decorating party. Emma wanted to have some friends over to do something around Christmas time, so this was the PERFECT option.
Greg, Laura, Tom and I spent last Sunday evening constructing 10 gingerbread houses with royal icing so that the structures would be totally together and solid for the kids to decorate.
We then invited each guest to bring one or two bags of candy to share and help decorate the houses.
We wish we could have invited more of our friends... but our house isn't THAT big. :) And I think this will turn into an annual tradition so that we can invite lots of friends for years to come.
We had such a wonderful time decorating and being surrounded by great friends!!
cry if I want to,
cry if I want to,
you would cry too if it happened to you.
Emma was a nightmare this morning. Seriously hasn't acted out this bad in a good year. Maybe tired? Maybe hungry? Maybe just woke up on the wrong side of the bed? But after spending so much time organizing a Christmas party with HER friends, I was not impressed or happy. She spent lots of alone time in her room that day. So exasperating. Could she really only be 3???
