Christmas Tree Party

Our traditional Christmas Tree Party started with a candle light dinner of Chicken Cordon blue and fake champaign. We then played games and sang songs around the Christmas Tree together as a family! The boys exchanged gifts and each made a hit with their selection. Samuel gave Noah a Pirate Kit and a fleece blanket with horses on it. Noah's response was more than exuberant because of his new found love for horses. Seth gave Jonathan an Air plain kit and a fleece blanket with the pattern of orange-yellow flames! Jonathan was also very excited! Joseph gave Samuel a "Calvin & Hobbs" comic book which he started to read immediatley! Jonathan gave Joseph a snow fling and a Harry Potter hat, perfect selections! Noah gave Seth an Air Cannon which much to my delight sends blasts of noisy air all around the house. They shoot it right in my face and my hair goes flying, ribbons and ornaments fall off the tree! It just all adds to the commotion! We really had a nice time being together, playing games and singing songs. The door bell kept ringing with neighbors dropping off gifts! It was snowing and pretty and a wonderful Christmas Sabbath Evening! Mike-I went to our own comfortable bed but the boys camped out under the tree all night. They dragged sleeping bags, pillows and blankets and were so excited about the whole process of sleeping under the Christmas Tree! Love Allyson
