This past weekend we celebrated Hayden's 8th birthday with friends and family. I still can't believe I have an 8 year old already, and then to think that Grace is almost 3...time flies way too fast!
We love having Aspen living here now. These 2 are going to be best buds! Can you tell??
Hayden invited over the cousins and a couple of friends from school for his 1st sleep over! This is what it looked like when we weren't playing games. WILD :)
To keep them entertained, we played Christmas themed minute-to-win-it games. This one was "blizzard winds"...blowing a cup with a straw.
"Snow ball nose dive" - carrying cotton balls from chair to chair stuck on by Vaseline
Grace loved watching every minute of what the big kids were doing, and even tried a few times.
"Christmas nutstacker" - stacking nuts with a candy cane...the "Lego" boys were the best at this game
"Cookie face" - putting a cookie on the forehead and moving it to your mouth without using hands.
"snowball toss"
"fishing for candy canes"
"building a snow man"
Payton and Robin won the best snowman
"snowball fight"
"shaving Santa's beard" - the kids had shaving cream on their faces and their partner had to "shave" them.
The birthday crew - Look closely...Hayden was so excited that EVERY present was Lego's!! He put them all together this weekend!
Ice cream sundae bar
Happy Birthday 8 year old!!
Morning after the sleepover - they claim that they were up ALL NIGHT, but it was pretty quiet from about midnight until 5:30!
THEN, grandma and grandpa came for some more celebrating. Grandma knitted the boys these cute sweaters. Hayden picked out the colors and they turned out very nice!
More present opening....lucky guy! He is working toward earning enough money to buy a Lego AT-AT walker...getting closer!
Then, we all headed to Shogun for dinner. It was great to watch the kids faces when the dinner was being cooked right in front of them. They thought it was great!
Although, not so sure Grace thought the fire was so great
Samurai Hayden
And then, home for S'mores...2nd annual tradition with homemade marshmallows
YUM!!
THEN, Sunday Hanukkah celebration with Auntie Jamie, Uncle Brian and Aspen! This Challah bread was amazing!! (way to braid, Brian!)
Brian's secret recipe of Latkes were also very tasty!
Kid table (minus Lilly) - she got to head to Grandma's house for a few days by herself.
Auntie Jamie teaching the Dradel game to the kids.
Lighting the Menorah. Aspen even knew the Hebrew prayer. It was a fun night!!
Now, on to Christmas!!!!
