Thank you for allowing me to pretend I'm a photographer.

Been a while since I put one of these up.

Christmas Pretzels

What, you've never made Christmas pretzels? Well, we didn't either until yesterday. We didn't get to the "make your own pretzel" activity I'd planned for the birthday party, so we did it last night and pretty soon we were using cookie cutters. They didn't turn out so much like pretzels as soft cookie shaped things that tasted somewhat like they could possibly be pretzels. But it was fun!

Celebration #2

This morning we had a triple 3rd birthday party at our house with 10 kids ages 2-3! We co-hosted with our fantastic neighbors (who wish to remain anonymous), who also have a daughter turning 3 this month. It went really well, and the few meltdowns that did happen were taken in stride. I'm pretty pleased with the success of our first kid party! Thanks to Grandma Gerry (who is visiting this weekend with Grandpa Scott) we had a great crafts table, and we had goodie bags and treats for everyone. Can't wait til they turn 4! Ok, maybe I can, since they're not even technically 3 yet.

Hailey told Grandma today we have to have another party for them after Christmas on their "real" birthday. So, we have at least one more celebration to go.
