Our crazy lives: More Celebrating

We had some more Christmas celebration madness that I thought Id share. First off is we had a cookie bread house decorating party with our friends the Harrisons. They are the same ones who have planned the marriage of Elliot and their granddaughter. It was very messy work especially in the tropics with icing, but we all had fun building and crashing and licking fingers and sneaking bites of candy!

Everyone but Randy and me starting the building

Kim and Eva building away

Craig's house. It crashed soon after the picture due to melted icing

Eva's melted, so why not eat it?!

All finished!

Keenan's

Daniel's was the most sturdy

Deanna's won the prettiest

Rachel's won most likely to make you smile

Elliot's probably had the most spit mixed in due to the constant licking!

Keenan and Elliot's school had their Christmas party. Lucy missed out on the fun because she has been a sickie. She's on some meds and doing better now, but we kept her home for the boys party so she would not get worse. She would have loved playing with the big guys and getting passed around and loved on by all the teachers.. :( The party started with everyone singing songs together and a time of prayer and then each class did a little presentation of sorts of either a song, poem, or verse.

Elliot's class. Only one or two kids really knew the poem that they said. Elliot stood there just looking around the whole time saying nothing :)

Elliot's class recited Psalm 100

Elliot was practicing his hair dressing skills

Keenan's class in their room. The little girl next to him is Kelliah and she is a riot! Always making faces and is super spunky.

All the kids got presents from the school which was so nice! The boys got cars which they promptly drove them around in the dirt, smashing them together, and the girls got barbie dolls which they promptly cradled and cooed over.
