Fun Times!

Thursday, Owen's class had their Christmas Party. Liam's school doesn't do parties and Owen, typically, doesn't enjoy his. I had the bright idea to pick Liam up from his school early and take him to Owen's class (siblings are welcome at the parties as many of the kids have younger brothers and sisters). I think that Owen feels that since I am in the class, it is time to go home, and he won't get too engrossed in the activity for fear I may leave him. I thought that with Liam there, he could chill a bit and have fun. I was right ;-) I love it when I am right! ha!

The class was to gather on the mats for their instructions....Liam just went on over and sat down with the big kids. Emma M and Emma D loved Owen's baby "Wiam".

They taped ornaments to a tree as one activity. They were supposed to be blindfolded and wearing a Santa hat. A few of the kids did that...the rest just put their ornament up there.

Then the real fun began. All of the kids were given sugar cookies, frosting, m&ms, and sprinkles to decorate. There was one extra cookie, so Liam and Ethan's little sister, Abby, got to split one. Liam just hopped right up in Owen's chair to participate in the fun. So, we got him his own chair and little Boo went to town!

I am not sure who enjoyed this more... Owen or Liam.
Sweet Owen....he added sprinkles to Liam's cookie for him.
My two sweet boys at the end of the table. I think it's so funny how "at home" Liam was there.

After the party, Liam didn't want to leave. ha! He was tugging on my shirt to keep me from walking out of the door. Too funny.
Both boys came home with crafts they worked on this December. Owen is showing off most of his at the same time....
His crown, his jingle bell ornament, and his stocking. He had others, but needed more hands to show them all.
Liam had a bunch of cute crafts, too. This one was really funny to me. Cute. But, funny. Something about the fact that his grouchy little face from his school picture was affixed to an angel just tickles me.
The boys got to put their ornaments on the tree, with help from Daddy Q.
Gavin didn't make the class party; but, he did make the blog post!

a little grouchy about not being held....
...just a funny expression....
...taking a rest during the photo shoot....
...our little two week old chunky monkey. Gavin now weighs 5 pounds 9.5 ounces!
Hooray for fun times 'round here.
