December Part 3

 We got ready for a Christmas party with "the littles" and their parents. We were going to be making Christmas cookies together. I went ahead and made some so that they could ice them while theirs baked in the oven.
 Emma (in Regan's arms), Anna, Helen, Kimi, and Peter

 Peter's dad surprised me a little bit. He was the most involved of all the parents. Truthfully, I'm not sure who had more fun...Peter or his dad :)
 Anna and Emma
 Regan made 3 cookies since she normally helps me in the class ;)
 Our Fisher Price Nativity is always a hit. The kids always want to play with it and the parents had many questions about it.
 I love this picture....my man in his happy place
This is my good friend, Hillary, and her baby, Joseph.  He has changed a lot since we saw them last.  We look forward to a visit soon!
We took Grandmommy to the seashell building.  She was cold :)
They opened a new trampoline park. My mom took the kids there to play and they had a great time! They had the entire place to themselves!
The adults only area...one of the kids favorite sections.
Hudson couldn't ever jump high enough to stick to the velcro wall...big sister to the rescue! :)
Lauren just hanging out
Hudson and Lauren racing down the slides
Benjamin spent most of his time here seeing how many different ways he could get stuck on the wall.
The Grinch was playing at the movies for 2 days only!  We decided to come back later to see it :) I miss seeing all the Christmas movies on tv.
This is Regan and her best friend CK. CK is also one of the coaches at the taekwondo center.
Katherine was drawing everyone stuck to the wall for art class. :)
Grand mommy and Lauren
It's our turn to make Christmas cookies!!

Katherine and Grace decided to switch coats for a day.
This is what you look like after a back massage! :)  The muscles in her back were getting really tight and I wanted to take her to the massage doctor before it got as bad as before.  She said it feel so good that she almost fell asleep. I might just be a little jealous ;)

Jonathan practicing his hohoho's.
I went to get a pedicure.  I decided not to watch (and not to go back to this place) when they pulled out razor blades instead of nail clippers.  Old school.
The kids wanted to try the fries at a new restaurant down the street.
Benjamin and his cat, Rocky
The kids draw names for Christmas.  They had fun opening up their gifts from each other.  Hudson bought Lauren a wallet.  She was so excited when she realized what it was and ripped the paper off so fast.
Katherine bought Regan a new shirt.
Regan bought Grace a Nerf gun.
Lauren bought Katherine a hat to keep her ears warm.
Grace got Benjamin a portable charger for his iPad.
Benjamin bought a set of pics for Hudson and then gave him his smaller guitar.
This is why Jonathan was practicing his hohoho's.  He was asked to play Santa for a school here.  I wish I could have seen it in person.
Mr. Hudson...the belt goes inside the jacket :)
The puppies are cold.  They spent the day either in from to of the heater or in someone's lap.
