Our son's birthday kicks off the month of December and this year he made it clear he wanted a Scooby Doo birthday, so that is what he got. When the time came to brake the pinata he didn't like the idea of hitting Scooby but eventually the idea of candy got him over his discomfort. When swinging at it with a stick didn't work for him, he started punching and kicking it. Mom finally took a swing at it with a descent size mag light and that did the job.
Included in the party paraphernalia were googly eyes. These never cease to be amusing to my children.
Here comes the Scooby cake.
Between birthday and Christmas my husband and son went on an outing together and stopped to look at the base Christmas tree.
This is just a cute picture of our youngest. When he was making this face we were cracking ourselves up with the funny things he might be thinking that caused him to make this face.
Finally, it was gingerbread house night. Early in our marriage some good friends of ours gave us a gingerbread house kit as a Christmas gift and we did it for family night. It was so much fun that we decided a tradition had been born. Our children especially look forward to gingerbread house family night every year. This year Grandma was kind enough to help us keep the tradition going buy sending us the kit, unfortunately some of the pieces got a bit beaten up. We made due and it turned out to be one of our funnest gingerbread houses yet.
We entitled it, "When Avalanches Strike". Notice the poor gingerbread man pinned under the roof of the gingerbread house.
So finally Christmas morning arrives and of course our two oldest are ready to get things rolling, our youngest opted to sleep in. We let him.
We decorated the boys ( our soldiers ) for Christmas, check out P. Chang here.
Yes my daughter is actually wearing her crown as just part of her sleeping ensemble.
Our youngest finally woke up and was more that thrilled to chew on and play with new toys and still had a death grip on his faithful giraffe
The next day it was perfect weather to go out and try out some new toys. Our two oldest got roller blades and it was fun watching the try to figure them out.
I love my happy family.
