Christmas with the Oldhams

We look forward to hanging out with the Oldhams any chance we get - but for me it's especially fun at Christmas time.  This year they came to our house and we ate dinner together, the kids exchanged Christmas gifts and then we decorated sugar cookies.  
The boys were so excited to see them....but they definitely needed to burn some energy.  They were running laps around the couches prior to them getting here. 



We tried to get the kids to open one gift at a time - and take turns - it worked for about 30 seconds.





We love Melissa and Doug products.  I actually got several items from that company this year.  Keagan received a shish-ka-bob grill set.  


It was the night of shoes for Liam.  I had bought "squeaker" shoes for Kade a week prior and much to my surprise he FREAKED OUT when I had him walk in them.  The kid LOVES shoes.  But not these shoes.  He cried and refused to walk in them and started crawling.  SO Liam got them!


The decorating of the sugar cookies was the highlight of my night.  The kids were pretty funny.  

Just look at this picture!! Look at that sneak!


Keagan didn't understand that we weren't going to eat all the cookies.  He decorated one cookie and then ate it.  He gave up decorating very quickly.

The two little boys played in the jungle gym that is my kitchen table. 


We told Nolan he was going to turn into the incredible hulk with all that green icing...
He was trying hard to make muscles.

These two did a pretty good job at decorating.

We had a great time and the only mishap was losing HK's bow...but we did find it eventually - after the Oldham's headed back to Eldorado.
