A Night with the Grandkids!

Last Saturday we got to babysit 6 of our Grandchildren so their parents could go to different activities. It just so happened to be the night of our Wards Christmas Party. It was an "Old Fashion Christmas Party". It was great except they didn't set up any tables for us to eat on, since it was really just a light buffet. That would have been alright, but with 6 kids, ages 8, 6, 5, 4, 3 & 2 you really have to keep your eye on the situation, because those chairs are not flat and you know how they kind of slope towards the back, I could just see plates of jello and chips landing on the people behind us, and the water, I just grabbed that and threw it away for the littler ones. We coerced John into coming with us and he was great (although he would never admit it, I think he had fun and really enjoys his neices and nephews) The program was nice - there was the nativity read and acted out, some singing, some stories and even Santa made an appearance (although he didn't visit with the kids) All in all in was a good night.

After we got home, I pulled out some puzzles that I bought and the kids had a great time putting them together over and over again. They wanted to even race and see who could put them together the fastest. Even Lex tried his hand at it and with some help from Grandma he finished putting it together himself. Kaitlyn got in the fun by sitting and watching and wearing the puzzle box. She is such a hoot. We had a lot of fun that night!
