How we miss not living by family during the Christmas season. Luckily, we are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends that have become our family here in Parker. This past weekend our friends the Pantones invited us to a Christmas program at their church and a party at their home afterwords. The kids loved the white elephant gift exchange(they kept asking where the elephant was). I made the mistake of letting the kids wrap the gifts because Hannah got to go first and went straight for the huge package of gum. She would not even trade it for a Barbie. Logan got his first taste of eggnog and was in heaven but did not enjoy everyone laughing at his reaction, he started to cry. Peyton I guess loves cheese cubes and took half the platter, reminding me again the need for a manners lesson. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to next years party. We also enjoyed a visit from my parents and Meggie. Who had driven in that night to bring Christmas gifts and spend a few days with us. We had so much fun and already miss them. The kids were so excited that Daisy got to come on this trip, the poor dog is probably so grateful to be home. We hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season, we miss you all.
