"Christmas is here..."

Christmas Festivities

Sammy has been keeping a good eye on the kids since our last post. We have been quite busy with play dates, crafts, baking and lots of packing for our trip to Pennsylvania the day after Christmas. 

Sammy has been dipping into the candy bowl.

Where's Sammy??

A little love note for Miss Payton

Hmm...

Sneaky Sammy painted Payton's nose like Rodolph the Red-Nose Reindeer. She slept through the whole thing....

 Payton's Kindergarten Holiday party was so much fun! We made lots of crafts, ate yummy snacks and played with friends.

 And she lost her 3rd tooth at her Christmas Party!

 

In between Sammy's adventures, wrapping and packing we had two wonderful play dates with Korben (Payton's best friend) and his little sister Annabelle. 

Sweet Annabelle tried so hard to keep up with the big kids but she always seemed to have a beautiful little smile on her face.

Let the baking begin...

Check out all those baked goodies. We made two batches of Reindeer food, two dozen Candy Cane Blossoms, two dozen Chocolate Gooey Cookies and two dozen Strawberry Gooey Cookies. We had a blast listening to Christmas music and baking lots of goodies for our neighbors, friends and family.

May your Christmas and New Year be filled with love, laughter and joy with family and friends.

Happy Holidays from the Barrett Family!
