Paaaarrrrrty! (and other shenanigans)

Last Friday, Colette and I threw a little Christmas party with a few close friends. The party was somewhat in Colettey's honor, and because....who doesn't love Christmas parties!? (Grinches and scrooges, don't answer that, okay). *Jane* and her brother Nathaniel came, as did Jason, a friend from church, and of course, Colette! A fun time was had by all. There was lots of good food, and we exchanged our Christmas gifts to each other too. Danny got a neat game, from *Jane* and Nathaniel, which we played, after finally figuring out how to play it. To my utter joy, I got a beautiful gorgeous locket from *Jane* and Nathaniel! CC, aka Colette, gave me a romantic movie, which I was glad to receive! It was a fantabulous, glorious night! We got all hopped up on jolly ranchers and diet coke(if you haven't watched 'Barnyard' you won't understand that statement).

Saturday night, our family went out driving looking at all the pretty Christmas lights(a family tradition). One of the places we went to was Candy Cane lane, which is a must each year, and Jackson loved it! There's a little train there that the guy gives out rides in, and Jacko Bean was rather impressed. Santa was also there, and Jackson got to sit in his lap. Right before Jack went up on St. Nick's lap, Rebecca sat on his lap, and didn't know what to ask for Christmas. Jackson knew exactly what he wanted. He had paid close attention to the fact that Becca had gotten a candy cane. So, when 'The Big Man' asked Jacko what he wanted, he promptly pointed to the bowl of candy canes and exclaimed, "A Candy Cane!" Upon receiving the Candy Cane, he was joyously satisfied.

Sunday Danny and Colette played a song for church, and they did a wonderful job! If you want to hear it, you can go over to my mom's blog. After church Colette came over for the day, and hung out, which was fun. We played a fun dice game that Danny introduced us, and watched Danny's new movie that he got from her for Christmas too. After the movie we played Mile Bornes, a game which we almost always play with CC when she's over. Twas a fun day.

Today was 'baking day'. Actually, this week is 'baking week', the week that we spend baking all our Christmas goodies. We made Peanut Butter Balls today, which was fun. I also the rest of my Christmas wrapping done today.....well, except for the stuff my Dad has for my mom. That stuff, I plan on wrapping tonight. Have I ever mentioned how I love Christmas? I love Christmas!
.....Pictures to come soon.....
