Christmas Party.

This past weekend we had our annual Christmas party with some of our close friends. Elena and I started getting ready for the party by making cookies - yum!
She is such a good little helper! (minus having to continually tell her to stop eating the dough!)


Some of the finished cookies ~
Then we decided to make a recipe that I found in a magazine for Rudolf the red nosed reindeer cookies! They turned out fantastic - just like the picture!!


Elena taste testing before the party!

Robert also tried something new - frying a turkey!

What the heck happened to the big turkey?!?!?
Just kidding! He fried a small rotisserie chicken too! Did we have you fooled? ;) The turkey, and chicken, both turned out great!
Here is a pic of some of the big guys (and little guys) ~

It is amazing how suddenly there are babies everywhere!!
Twila and CJ~

Marisol and Andrew~
Linds and Elena~
Heidi and sweet baby Estela~
Marie and Xavier~

We just had to try for a group picture of all the kiddos, not an easy thing to accomplish!

Elena was pretty excited to get to hold Estela all by herself! Such a big girl! I had to keep reminding her to loosen up her grip and that Estela wasn't a doll - lol!
The kiddos played and played and played , well past their bedtimes!


Elena really wanted to jump in her old jumper like the babies were doing! We compromised by letting her "help" them bounce. :)

She played in these car seats for a good 30 min!
Then the kiddos finally went to sleep and we enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Fun times!


Hope you are all getting to spend time with your friends and family this holiday season too!
