We have been very blessed this past whirlwind of a week to have many friends and family to celebrate the holidays. Marlee came over to help us make Christmas cookies and play reindeer games (seriously, they played "Follow me- I'm Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer!"- too cute.
Later that same night, Braelyn came over and added to the mix of sugar high. Then we had 4 girls who wanted to be Rudolph, however, Victoria, my problem solver, came up with her own solution- "Let's all be Rudolph." Lots of chasing, crawling, and laughs!
We went out with Denise and Dave to the coolest place ever for kids- a hibachi grill, called Masu. Victoria and Bella were treated to the best- chef hats, kid friendly chop sticks, and sake. Okay, not really, it was a lychee (fruit) drink served in sake cups. They loved the knife and fire show, although Bella was very scared of the giant fireball in the beginning. They both thought the volcano (sliced/stacked onion made to erupt with fire and smoke) was very neat. Victoria even said this was her favorite restaurant. And Mommy was happy because they both devoured very healthy food- chicken, rice, soup, lychee, and the occasional bite of vegetable.
We went over to Dave and Denise's beautiful new house afterward. The kids watched a classic story about Kris Kringle, while the older kids made a cheer with a glass of wine;)
We made ginger cookies for my mother for part of her Christmas present. Victoria and Bella enjoyed rolling the dough into little balls and flatting them.
We went over to my parents' house later that day to celebrate Christmas with a delicious turkey meal with broccoli rice casserole, my cranberry jello, croissant rolls, and lemon merange pie. Yum!
Grandpa asks Victoria if she's been naughty or nice.
Mom in the process of opening her gingersnaps. Bella was holding on. She had just woken up from a small car nap. She really needed more sleep, but refused to give in. (That's pretty much her entire story these past couple of days- tonight I'm putting her down early.)
While the casserole was cooking, we took a fast jaunt around my Coppell neighborhood where I grew up to see the Christmas lights. The girls were bundled up in their coats, hats, mittens, and scarves. They were so happy. I suggested we sing a Christmas song. For the next 5 minutes Bella sang at full blast Jingle Bells. When I asked her if she knew another song, she said- yes, and continues to belt out Jingle Bells. I reminded them they knew We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Rudolph.
The Sadowski family Christmas.
