HOA Christmas Party

Friday, December 19th--Every year we attend our HOA Christmas party. I used to volunteer to host these things but they became to much of a nightmare. I leave that to others now. The McDonalds and Perkowskis joined us for the party. There was a hayride through the neighborhood to view decorations along with cookies and hot chocolate in the clubhouse. The kids enjoyed the hayride but I think they enjoyed playing hide-n-seek with Uncle Derek on the playground even more.

Decorating the Tree

Thursday, December 18th--Family is in town and it is time to decorate the tree. The kids have been asking for a few weeks but I said that we should wait until everybody got here so we could all do it together. As is tradition in our house, everybody donned a Santa hat to decorate the tree. While decorating, we all had hot chocolate and cookies.

Christmas Party at Raytheon

Friday, December 5th--First of all, Happy Birthday, M.!! Your party isn't until Sunday, however. :) Every year, we go to Raytheon for their Christmas party. We have pizza, the kids decorate cookies, make crafts, look at the model train set, and listen to a ridiculous children's show by the Morris Brothers. We look forward to it every year. Outside, they usually have bounce houses and a train ride. Each year we get the same photo taken with the same background. Here is this year's picture......
