We all met at Mountain Dell Golf Course to go sledding before heading up to my parents house to finish out our Christmas party.
We all love going sledding. Everyone had a lot of fun. We headed down to the smaller mountain at the bottom after a couple runs down the big mountain that way we weren't tiring out so fast.
After sledding we headed to my parents house and got the kids started on building gingerbread houses.
The kids always love to do the gingerbread houses. My mom always goes crazy buying all the everythings to decorate the houses with. They get so creative and it's so fun to watch. Jake got put in charge of making frosting, so I was helping him put the frosting in baggies for the kids to use.
Williams poor house kept falling over, and it was so funny for the adults, but he was not having a good time. Shayla is always game to join in with the kids and she made a cute house. Sarah and Oaklee had fun making their house.
William and Oaklee went off to play, and Kash was taking a nap while we got dinner ready. But I brought an activity for the kids to do. We were making donut snowmen. So Sydney and Lizzy made them for everyone. Lizzy was so excited by do it. The kids helped me pick out and buy all the "ingredients" for it.
We finally got to the presents. The kids were so excited. They had been "peeking" at the presents for a while by this point. We did our sibling exchange, as well as my kiddos and Sarah's kids did a gift exchange. Then mom passed out everyones gifts. Everyone got pjs.
The big gift from my parents this year was a boat for William, a Polly Pocket house for Lizzy, and a bean bag for Sydney. Sydney also got a drawing book and pad to help her design outfits. William got a shark lego set. Lizzy got one of those magnetic drawing boards. Jake and I got a bathroom shelving unit.
I made this cake for dessert. Jake helped me with it. It tasted very good. there is not frosting, just a mouse layer between and on top of the cakes.
All of us went in on the food dehydrator for my mom.
All of us went in on a new fishing tackle box, and supplies for my dad.
