Holiday Activities

The boys and I attended the Angel Breakfast at Frisco Bible Church. Jerry was working that weekend, so the family picture only included the 3 of us :( Both boys made a chocolate chip cookie mix jar and enjoyed a breakfast of sausage w/ biscuits and gravy. Eli especially loved the donut holes!

The previous weekend, the boys and I visited Frisco's Merry Main Street for the 2nd year. Jerry was working OT at the event, so we were able to meet up with him for a bit. We snacked on nachos, chili frito pie, and apple cobbler. Then we played handbells to the tune of Silent Night! On our walk back to the car, mom snuck into a candy store to buy some Butterfinger Fudge. Yum :)

Another night, we attended a gingerbread house making party with some homeschool friends. What a turn out! I thought I would try something 100% edible this time, and made the houses from graham crackers. Unfortunately, the icing did not dry in time, so I had to secure the walls with hot glue. On our way out the door, Eli accidentally dropped his house which of course broke to pieces. I did my best to put it back together at home, but it wasn't pretty. Poor Eli was so uspset, so I let him eat all the candy that night after dinner. That seemed to make everything all better!



The week before Christmas, our playgroup had a little party with gift exchange. It was a small turnout, but the moms and kids still had fun :) Eli ended up with some toy airplanes and a 3D puzzle, and Isaiah got some shooting cardboard airplanes and a jumprope.


A couple days later, we bundled up again to go see the lights at Frisco Fire Safety Town. It was a lot less crowded this year, so the boys didn't have to wait in any lines. We made our rounds through the little buildings, collecting candy canes along the way. After a brief storytime and climb on the firetruck, we headed home.
