Christmas with the Kids

What a crazy and wild weekend. It was a lot of fun though. Noelle and I had a Christmas party for some of the kids that are over to our house on a regular bases. I had bought each of the kids gifts and Noelle. We went to church and then came home and had lunch. After lunch the party began. We started with decorating cookies. Next the kids took a plate of cookies over the neighboors to thank them for letting them use the basketball hoop and wish them a Merry Christmas.

Once the cookies where delivered the kids all ran into the house, because it was time to open presents. Lamont, Tia, Terrance, and Tonajarae got Bible to cary to church, my mom donated them. Then each of them got one other gift. Once the Bible were opened each child had a few verses to read about the birth of Christ. I think all the kids really enjoyed their gifts.

I had also gotten Noelle a gift from the kids. Each of the kids thanked her for what she does for them. Then Key also drew a picture to put in the front of the bag. Needless to say Noelle was touched or I think that is what you call teary eyes.

We had a wonderful time. Here are a few pictures from the party.
