Christmas Party

Every year we attend the Christmas Party given by the Children's Craniofacial Association (CCA) and B's craniofacial doctor. The kiddos eagerly await the event and know exactly what activities they will do.  The activities include: cookie decorating (more frosting and sprinkles than cookie), pet/look at snakes, visit Santa and receive a present, color a picture, decorating picture frames and many other little crafts, climb on a fire truck and caricature drawings.  Radio Disney is there to lead fun activities and dances which our quiet bunch prefers to watch rather than shake their tail feathers.  We eat cheese, crackers, cake, punch, and fruit and have a grand time.

Inside the fire truck

This year B. decided she wanted a caricature drawing of herself.  She and her brothers waited patiently for an hour, with B updating me every 5 minutes on her wait time, reminding me how patient she was being.

B. with her dog Goldie. 

She doesn't have a dog, but if she did it would be Goldie.

X-man building a chimney for Santa with--what else--LEGOS!

L. doing a little building with LEGOS too!

A. wasn't feeling well, so she didn't stand in line. You guessed it, she has been sick this whole week with a too familiar sounding cough! We have been to the doctor and were told it was bronchitis and  given medicine.  Cough is still there...  Poor A.

We DO wash our hands around here and don't have a communal dish or cup we all slurp out of. I run around with Clorox wipes and call out "Get your hands out of there (mouth, nose, cookie jar, you get the picture)!" WHAT is up with this sickness business!  Really.
