Week leading up to Christmas :)

We have had Christmas parties like crazy this week! Allie Kate is still getting over her walking pneumonia and Ava Grace is on her 2nd round of antibiotics for it :( It's been a sick week. We had lunch at cracker barrel with Candace and the girls before dance :)

And Allie Kate and Brynnen decided it would be fun for Brynnen to go to dance class with us...so she did while Candace went to her OB appointment :)

It was their little dance Christmas party and I love getting to watch these cute girls dance :)

 

Poor Ava she could not escape :)

While Brynnen was a little freaked out by all the loud tap shoes and wild girls...this little goofball thought it was GREAT! She rocked back and forth to the music and had herself a feast :)

Later that night we had our craft Christmas party with Maci, Addie, and Layla.

Very excited about decorating cookies :)

Her finished cookie...and she literally took one bite of it :)

And of course they were so happy about their presents :)

We also had Allie Kate's first school Christmas party :) It was so cute! All the kids wore their little snowmen shirts they made and sang songs and got a present (a book exchange)....

Mrs. Christie

Baby Jesus cupcakes

I got to see some of their art work :)

Santa even came....and the kids went NUTS!!

And we even ran into Addie :)

We also had a family Christmas party at my mom's house with the step side of the family...

Ava has always "loved" on Olivia but Olivia has just started joining in on the lovefest :)

Although I think OJ may just be wanting to bite!

Ready for Christmas :)
