I know it’s a little late…. sorry no excuses, so here we go!!!
I’m just posting pic recaps, if you need any details, let me know!! I will tell you that first up is the only picture I got from JE’s Christmas program! It’s hard to work a video camera and a still camera at the same time!
We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did too!
Wow!! can you believe it??? 7 already?? Since summer he has been insisting on having an army party and this year I decided to actually host the party at our house!!! (Insert ear piercing scream here!) I made a deal with the hubby that I would only host ii if he would paint our kitchen…So I got my kitchen painted! yay!!! So here’s how the party went… Invitations went out recruiting GI Joes and Jane's to enlist in a special mission to celebrate Eric's birthday. They went out on brown paper with a dog tag cut out as the invitation. Then I got to planning the party…
This sign greeted our guests when they entered.
Here is the enlistment office where recruits signed in, got their dog tags, helmet, binoculars, gun with ammo, and tattoo (because all good soldiers have them right?)
The Banner I made for Eric all by myself!!
Base Camp
And this was the firing range… we had other activities too such as parachute drop, air force academy, Missing in Action, and Rescue Mission, but this is generally what happened the whole party…
And that was the end of the tent!
We waited until his actual birthday on December 16th to have our family party…
Can you see how excited he is!!
Happy Birthday to my Eric!!
The family got a chance to board the North Pole Express this year and go see Santa and Mrs. Claus! We had a fun and exciting time! A quick train ride to the North Pole, we played with elves, saw Mr. and Mrs. C, then had milk and cookies on the way home!!
“I’m so excited!”
Here comes the train!
JE and his new penguin buddy!
“I see the North Pole!”
John Emory wasn't real sure about them!
“Time to go home already?”
