How the Grinch Stole Christmas

We went to see the Grinch for Maddie and Christine's birthday. It was a great show. Although the funniest part of the night was during the drive in when Christine realized she forgot her phone and said she was supposed to call her friend so they could grab a drink and Maddie said "don't worry Christine I'll grab a drink with you" she said it as if she really knew what she was saying. She did say that she was going to drink water, so she didn't really know what Christine meant, but it was hysterical. Then we headed off to PF Chang's for dinner, it was delicious and then off to the show. The show was great, Maddie really enjoyed it and she behaved very well.

Hanging out with Christine

Before the show Maddie got the spend the whole day with Christine, they baked and shopped. A great girl day. We took some cute pictures in front of Christine's Christmas Tree. Maddie took the individual pictures of Christine, she was supposed to be in them but she loves taking pictures. Of course Maddie had to make at least one silly face in between all the nice pictues, she is such a ham!!!

Tree Triming

Jamie went out and chopped down a tree, would anyone expect anything else from him, ha-ha. He went a little overboard, the tree is about 11 feet tall, good thing we have a cathedral ceiling in the family room, although we had to move all the furniture around when we had a perfectly good spot in the corner for a normal sized tree, but what fun would that be!! We started decorating, but he needs to go back to RI to pick up some more of our holiday decorations. Maddie loved decorating because she got to climb up the ladder to decorate and she picked out Dora and Princess candy canes to put on the tree. I think they will be gone by Christmas I think she ate 3 while decorating. JP was just standing around looking cute and trying to pull everything off the tree, so the bottom will be bare and all the decorations will be 3 feet and up.

Kids Holiday Party

We had the Kids Holiday Party at my work and the kids had a blast. Jamie had to jump in and be Santa at the last minute, he did a great job, Maddie didn't even know it was him. He was a good sport! The kids had fun playing with Leslie and Stephanie from the hotel and made LOTS of cookies with extra M&M's for decorations, Maddie's favorite.
