Christmas--just the 6 of us

We celebrated our Christmas last night with our kids.  Since we will be leaving on Friday for our Christmas break (Indiana, here we come!!), we decided to celebrate with our kids a little bit early.  It was a very fun evening with a surprise ending.

Halle decorated napkins for everyone in our family.  She did such a good job!  This is a tradition started by our beloved GW assistant, Lisa.  She always used to decorated napkins whenever a resident had a birthday.  Lisa, we miss you!!

We decided to do a breakfast-for-dinner meal, because breakfast food is what our kids like best!  So Nathan made eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon, and we also had cinnamon rolls...and pop.  Because pop goes with everything :)  Layla loved the bacon...

Poor Kaine was not feeling well.  This is pretty much how he was the whole evening.  Poor little guy (turns out he has an ear infection and strep, by the way).  :(

Nathan did an amazing job (once again) creating some fun games for our kids!  We decided not to buy them gifts, but instead just little prizes to go with with the homemade games.  They loved it!

Daisy was excited about her prize bag :)

In this game, Nathan propped one end of our table and the kids had to roll Skittles into a box at the other end.  Whatever Skittles they got into the box, they will get to eat on our way to Indiana this weekend.  Great idea, honey!

Well, this is where our night's "surprise ending" came.  Picture this scene, with the tilted table, and Daisy leaning over the table...and then she got SICK.  I won't give you all the gory details, but just picture Daisy looking stunned and our kids screaming "the puke is going to slide into the Skittle box!"  Ha!  It is amusing to look back on.  Not so amusing then.

So this is where Daisy and I ended our night.  She doesn't look too sick here, huh?  It was actually kind of fun to cuddle with her on the couch and just watch the rest of the night's festivities with her :)

Fun night!  And I can't wait for a Christmas in Indiana!
