Non-Stop Christmas Partying

We've been doing a lot of Christmas themed partying around here and its been so fun. 

 First up, we did a "Polar Express" themed movie night.
It was so fun. I had a great time setting up a "Hot hot hot chocolate" bar. 

Each kid also got a silver bell with a little tag. 

We also made snowman shaped pizzas to eat while watching "The Polar Express"

Then before bed, the kids found "minivan express" tickets 

This is always a fun tradition. 

Dad punched everyone's tickets and we hopped in the van with hot chocolates and went to look at some Christmas lights. 

I love this picture of all the kids poking out of the sun roof looking at the lights.
Our favorite house has lights that dance to Christmas music. 

We had a great time listening to Christmas music, drinking our hot chocolate and looking at lights. 

Another day we decorated gingerbread houses. I had fun doing a little setup for this too.

I attempted a balloon tree too. It was my first attempt and it was fun, but I don't see me making a habit of making them. 

The kids had a great time decorating their little gingerbread houses. 

Final products- I love all the kids' little personalities manifested in their houses. 

They were so proud of their houses. 

Then our last little party was decorating cookies. 

It was a "Mrs. Clause Cookie Company" party and the kids loved decorating cookies. 

I love the kids in their striped pajamas. 

And I love how seriously they take cookie decorating. 

Even little Benson was into it. 

We've had a great time partying this holiday season. Christmas is only a few days away now- things are getting real.
