Giggles, Squeals, And Merry Times!

We had the Bryants over for dinner a couple of weeks ago, and it was fun, fun!!!

 

As most of you know, Lauren has been my best friend since middle school, and our girls just adore eachother.  It is so sweet!  There was a time when I tried to force  gently instructed Maggie that her best friend was Campbell ;) ....there was no need.  These girls are crazy about one another!

 

Here is our night in pictures:

 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

The plan was to make gingerbread houses.  We didn't realize that you have to put the houses together the night before and let them set overnight.  Oups!  The guys tried so hard to hot glue / ice the houses together so that they wouldn't fall apart. (In my opinion, it just added to the fun of the night.)

Working hard on their constructions.

 While the daddies were putting together the houses, the girls were busy planning a "show" for the parents.  (Every time we are together, they come up with some kind of production.)  This time, they sang and danced to Christmas songs.  It is always so cute to watch them have fun and be creative!

Ta-da!

Decorating...fun times!

We had a fantastic time!  In fact, we had such a great time that I can see this being a tradition in the making!  Hope you are busy making new traditions with the ones you love!
