Christmas Party! (Eli’s, that is)

Today was Eli’s Christmas party at school, and he had a lot of fun! Matea stayed with my Dad so I could get one-on-one time with Eli and help him with his crafts during the party without having to chase Matea around the room. I’m so thankful for that! Eli and I had a nice time together, and I could even help a few other children whose parents couldn’t make it.

We had five stations of craft/activities, but Eli’s favorite by far was when he got to make a bag of hot chocolate mix to take home and load it up with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and peppermints. We also made an ornament, a snowman magnet, and strung a bracelet (which Eli and I decided to make in to a candy cane ornament instead). :) After picking up Matea we headed home and made the hot chocolate (nummy nummy) and played games together while Matea napped. Eli, the Candy Land master, continued his dominance, and we had a great afternoon of crafts, food, and fun!

Being silly. What a ham. :)IMG_0469
