Day 3: Adventures with Rosie

Last night we went to Ben's Christmas party for drill. The kids had a lot of fun and made some new friends. I am always excited when they are able to walk into a room, not knowing anyone and leave having made at least one friend. They spent their evening playing "hide and seek," and spinning until they were dizzy.

Santa made a special appearance so the kids got to tell them what they were wishing for... Kaylen said she was hoping for a toy dog and AJ just wants a really a big train to play with (like we don't already have enough!!)

 

 

They each got a special toy from Santa's helper. Kaylen got a new fairy doll, which she has named Lilly, and AJ got a Lego set that makes a cop car. They were both surprised to see Santa and even more surprised to get a special toy. To top the night off, there were cookies, hot cocoa, and cotton candy for the kids. Talk about sugar overload!!! They crashed almost as soon as their little heads hit the pillows.

 

When they woke up this morning, they found Rosie the Elf camped out in the living room watching Christmas movies with her friends Woody and Lilly (Kaylen's new doll).

 

 

 

The kids were quite surprised to see this scene this morning. When the kids went to bed, they each had one of Rosie's friends with them, which made them a bit confused as to how they got into the living room. But then they figured, Rosie is magical, she probably gave them special elf dust to get to the living room!
