The Playgroup Christmas Party

Today was our playgroup Christmas Party. The morning started at about 1:30 for us when Nicholas woke up crying about bugs and spiders. He did not go back to sleep until about 5:00. After two hours of rest, we were getting ready to go when Kristyn called. She had thrown out her back again and needed help setting up for the cookie decorating. We rushed over and helped get everything set up. One of the other kids, John, brought his John Deere tractor which was a magnet for Sebastien, James, and Nicholas. We tried getting the boys to take turns but there were lots of tears from the two who were left watching. After about 3o minutes, we took the kids inside to decorate cookies and exchange presents. Nicholas was hysterical because he wanted the tractor. Kim put the tractor away while we were inside. Nicholas cried for what seemed like ever until one of the moms brought him frosting. Then he calmed down and we went in the laundry room to look at the snakes. We stayed in there eating frosting and watching the snake slither about for a long time. When the other kids were done decorating, we did the present exchange. Then we all headed back outside for more fun on the bikes. Merry Christmas everyone!
