Party at Our House

After Christmas we headed home and then everyone came to join us to get ready for Melanie's wedding!  The dress had to be steamed.

 Aunt Lori came and was a great help!

 We started work on some decorations for the open house.

 Some people braved the cool weather to play outside.

 Dinner got a bit crowded...

 ...so Mom and Lori found another spot...at the preschool tables.  :)

 We decided to make an clear the paper off this one and then we dug into my after-Christmas cheap chocolate stash.  :)

 Ethan very reluctantly let others play with his castles.

 We did some gingerbread houses.

 Then it was baths and bed.  I have the best siblings.  Elaine and Trevor helped the girls by brushing their hair.

 Katherine specifically wanted Uncle Trevor.

 Once the kids were in bed and the hotel-ites went to the hotel, we played some Great Dalmuti and had hot chocolate.

Then it was off to bed with the rest of us so that we could be ready for the big day!
