Progressive Dinner 08 with the Sherwood's

Ellie & I missed lots of the Cummard's Progressive dinner (due to gymnastics)- and I never took any pictures ... not like me, I know.

BUT- PROGRESSIVE DINNER is one of my favorite HoLiDaY TrAdiTiOnS!!

On Sunday, my side did our Progressive dinner.

Ellie was so excited for it ALL DAY. Of course she wouldn't take a Sunday nap, but we knew what would happen as soon as we got in the car... SURE ENOUGH!! {notice her crossed legs..ha ha}

Earlier that day, Elle was going thru her things & looking for things to "GIVE" for Christmas to her cousins. Once I said "o.k." she would load them up in her bag.

She was super excited to give them to her cousins and she planned on saying "Merry Christmas" to each one. Some of my favorites---- stuffed animals for Roxy! (ha ha Auburn) You know that I was just fine with giving those away!!

Look how cute these girls looked!

Another favorite was Noah's gift! A- he already has one... and B- come on.. it's a Corn Dog On A Stick hat! ha ha

We had a great time at the Gibbons. Auburn made great food &

Next stop was our parents home... (and ours too- for now)

It was all fancy!

(Yummy soup, Olive Garden salad & breadsticks.)

Our fam... same as the last few years, just a little bigger..... US, not the number! ha ha

And my great parents.

Then we headed to Shalae's for some delish PePPerMinT treats.

She makes the best peppermint cookies.

I gotta say that the kids started to get loud & kinda annoyish there! - at least Ellie. She wanted to dance to every Christmas song that was playing in the background. (of course)

The 2 love birds & their perfect casa that I love!

Last house was just a hop, skip & jump away- the Baldwins.

We enjoyed hot cocoa & a special performance.

Alisse had been teaching them "Silent Night" in sign language & it was really sweet. (thanks sis)

We even video taped some things for Brad....

including them singing, & sharing their testimonys.

Someone asked the kids "Tell us your favorite part of Christmas"....

Of course Ellie said "Jesus"... oh wait- she is 4 & said "I love presents." {NICE ELLE!!!} At least she said it in a really sweet voice. ??

Ellie did her Rudolph dance with Rox & Noah...

the kids sang "Called To Serve" * made my emotional mom cry..

TO SUM IT UP- we had a great time, as usual.

My bffs-

Auburn, Alisse, Vicki, & Shalae

Shalae & I took our picture for our Christmas cards for our SGIA customers-

ha ha.... so romantic.

(Ali make us a fake card!!!! When the bank is slow of course! wink)

Thanks Baldwins for having us all be crazy at your house. - Speaking of crazy....

STAY TUNED.. I will be posting more Holiday Festivities SOON!
