kid's christmas party

we hosted our {i think 5th} annual kid's christmas party this year.  every year there are either more kids or it just feels like more because they have all grown so much.  it is super fun to watch them actually understand the gift getting/giving process and wait patiently to see everyone's presents.  they had a blast playing, eating lunch, playing, exchanging gifts, playing, decorating cookies, and of course, more playing.  {and next year our only boy in the group will finally have another baby boy to join him!!! yay!  can you hear my excitement.  we need some more boyness in this group of 7 girls.}



{maddie gave every girl an apron when they arrived. 
all her idea in planning for the cookie decorating party.
how we have 7 aprons is another story?}



{he loved the "snowman" treats, i.e. powdered donuts,
