Holiday Parties

Evan and Noah both had their holiday parties at school today.

I went to Noah's party at noon. After all the kids ate lunch they played games and ate gingerbread men. Noah wanted to be by my side the whole time.

I dropped Noah off at home with Blanca and met Morry at Evan's school. Last time we brought Noah to Evan's party it was not very pleasant. He was cranky and demanding. Evan's party was nice. They rotated stations with different games and crafts. One of the stations was the dreidel game. Evan spent a lot of time there. Mr. Valdes got the class together for a picture. The parents were joking that it looked like they were going to perform or sing for us. So, the kids decided to sing Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel. After that the kids showed us their surprise projects they have been working on. There was an ornament, a card, and a calendar that they made.

Morry went home and a little later I took Evan home with me after school.

I was invited to this open house type cookie decorating party on our street. She said you could come any time between 5pm and 11pm. I went over there around 5:30 and stayed for a little while. She had all kinds of sugar cookies already made. There were different colors and types of frosting and sprinkles. Then, we all got to take home about a dozen cookies in a box she had for us. It was very nice. I rushed through my decorating so I could get home and we could all go out to dinner. The kids were very impressed though when I came home with a box of decorated cookies.

For dinner we ate at Cypress Grill.

At home the boys picked out one sugar cookie each to eat. They are also picking treats off of Evan's gingerbread house he made at school.

Now, we are going to get the kids ready for bed.
