We've had party after party this week and the girls are loving it! After Bethlehem, there was Julie's recital where Eloise 'tolerated' it pretty well....and we learned that Leni really, really, really, really, doesn't like recitals. Julie was wonderful. She sang a song called "God of Mercy" by Louise Fellingham all about orphans with AIDS in Africa. An extraordinary song! Did I say that Leni doesn't like recitals? That bears repeating...:) and repeating, and repeating.
Then, we had our homegroup party at the Rejonis' . They live in a 100 yr. old house which was decked out for the holidays complete.......with a "hoeman" upon entering the door. (see pic). They even showed "The Polar Express" at their 'outdoor' theater. Fun! Fun~!
After our Disney day, we went to a 'gingerbread-house-decorating-party' at our neighbors. She buys houses with all the fixins and lets the kids go wild decorating them. Here's a few pics of how our turned out! A great idea for a party! It's become an across-the-street-tradition for our girlies! (Just FYI- most times there's lots more people at events we go to than are seen here. I won't post people's pics unless I've secured permission from them or their parents first....) And now......we must get back to planning this next week's activities! We have cousins coming in, parties to attend....and oh yea.....Eloise's School Christmas Production!
P.S. The new pic on the header is really our girls feet, taken by their Daddy at Thanksgiving. It's part of this year's Christmas Card :)
