I love Christmas Parties! Little kid Christmas parties are even more fun as an adult. I went to Reed's class party this morning and we had so much fun. Each kid decorated a little graham cracker house.... or more specifically.... enjoyed sneaking candy while attempting to stick it to their little house with icing. Reed, aka: "Mr.-I-don't-like-anything-sticky-on-my-hands" hired me as his contract artist, telling me exactly where to put each thing without actually getting anything on his hands. But give the boy a frosted cupcake and watch out!!

Then I took Clare back to the doctor for her ears and they are both infected again. How frustrating! So she started a round of shots- basically a super-antibiotic given 3 days in a row. This is our last attempt to clear up those ears before we fly over the holiday. Please pray for her sweet ears to drain and open up!!

Last night we had our good friends over for pizza. Reed and Chloe are a year apart and Clare and Lilly are a year apart. Clare was amazed at Lilly. She insisted on standing over her and keeping tabs on her all night. It was the very first time Clare has looked big to me. I'm used to her looking so small next to Reed. But look how big she seems next to a baby!!
