And the Christmas Festivities have begun!!

With the start of December and 2 small children in our house, the Christmas festivities have begun in the Stringer household!  The first week of December was full of cookie making, kids party fun and mommy's work Christmas party fun!

A few weeks ago a few of us mommies decided to have a little Christmas present exchange party for the kids and let them watch the Elf of the Shelf, decorate cookies and have a little present exchange On Friday, December 4, we had this party.  My boys LOVED it!  We offered to make the cookies and the boys had fun....  I think they enjoyed making messes more than cooking but at least they had fun.

The following Saturday we had my work Christmas party.  Since we are a construction company, we usually have some sort of big piece of equipment which the boys LOVE!.  The boys also loved playing all of the kid games.   Santa will sometimes make a special appearance as well... 
 
The accounting department always decorates the night before..

On Sunday Jason had to work for a little bit so the boys and I played outside and attempted to make a Christmas tree craft....

 Whew!  That was just the first week of December.  We have lots more fun planned the rest of the month!
