Yes, the holidays are upon us & at the Hammock household, things have been pretty busy lately. Last week was jam-packed with activities & early Christmas parties. Here are a few of the highlights...
Saturday, Molly danced at the fairgrounds and since only 3 of the 10 girls in her group showed up, let's just say it was an "interesting" performance! Line changes, two trains & a triangle formation are pretty difficult to pull off with less than half of the group there. They made the best of it, though, and we were very proud of them.
Thursday night, we had my office party to attend. This group of kids do not get to see each other very often, but they always play together like they're the best of friends. It is always fun to see how much they've grown from year to year. For example, look at the following pictures. Each year, I take a picture of Molly & Jadyn sitting in the same chair. These two little girls are only 3 days apart in age & always have a great time with each other.
This was their first Christmas....
The next year's picture was a little more difficult trying to tame 1 year-olds...
But, nothing compared to 2 year-olds...
Then, things started to get easier....
And, this year only required one snap of the camera...
Man, they are growing up WAY too fast!
Friday was a busy day as well. We started off the morning at Molly's school doing Christmas arts & crafts with her class. She really enjoyed making a reindeer shirt with her foot & hand prints and her very first gingerbread house, too!
After school, we had to get ready for 2 Christmas parties that night. The first was Molly's dance party. Even though the night started off a little rainy, it quickly cleared up enough that the kids were able to enjoy the big bouncy slide. We made a quick appearance and then, it was back to the house to get ready for our second party of the night. Each year, we get together with 4 of my long-time friends and their families to celebrate Christmas. And each year, we have a blast! It was great to see them all & the kids had a ball playing together!
