Pre-Christmas activities



For us Abrahamsons, Christmas is really a whole season of celebrating the birth of the Savior. One really big Birthday Party. And the week before the big day things really seemed to heat up with a number of fun activities and family get togethers. This year we had to push some stuff back because with her new job, Alesha couldn't get here till the 21st. And since Tressa is our big party girl, and the party girl has been pretty sick( making a baby) we did not have as many events as usual.

We did make Christmas cookies and all the grandkids got in on cutting out some dough.

We did lots of hanging out, watching Christmas movies, and wrapping presents.

Brady doing what he does best- pulling the DVD's off shelf and then opening them.

Then we had our 2nd annual Rice Crispy decoration night.

Which is always fun. This is Madison's favorite event I think. She could sit and decorate things like this all day long.

 She's so cute about how she takes her time and puts stuff on her Rice crispy treat house.



Isabell doesn't need hands to eat this stuff.

 

Parker hoping to get some of the good stuff too, while Jesse eats his house.

 All the older grandkids had fun. Generally eating as much of the decorations as putting them on the treats.  The adults seemed to have fun too!
 After a rush of sugar... the next natural thing to seemed to be.... yes that's right- reindeer rides courtsey of grandpa.

Then Tressa thought this would be a good time to give Ellie her Christmas, so she would have them to wear christmas eve.
