Children's Christmas Party PGE style




Christmas is upon us, I can't believe its almost here. Our latest outing was taking all three boys to the Christmas party without the parents. Boy, we had fun, I think. MaMa and PaPa were very busy. There were snow ball fights in 75 degree weather, pizza, games, cake walk, and a train ride in the parking lot. Jaxson decided to get on by himself, and as we were frantically looking for him, he simply waved to us as he went by. There's no picture of the train for obvious reasons. A good time was had by all including Mommy and Daddy who caught up on some shopping. We all came home tired and happy. A nap was in order. Not for the kids, for the grandparents.

December is here!




Our Christmas season started with a bang! On Nov. 30th, Bridgett and I had a Holiday Open House at her mother-in-law's home and sold lots of candles. The women loved our creations and spent lavishly. The payoff was around $350. Not bad for a couple of candle makers! The next day we had a Christmas Craft Faire in Grover Beach. Bridgett did many demonstrations, got lots of leads, but we didn't do as well in the dollar dept., however, we made enough to pay for our booth rental.
The very next day, PaPa and I (MaMa) took all three grandsons to the PG&E Children's Christmas party. It was a lot of fun, but I think we needed more hands! Jayden and Jaxson got to throw snowballs (around here they have snow dumped in an area so the kids can play in it)eat pizza, and while we were not looking, Jaxson got on the little train all alone and took a ride around the parking lot. We panicked when we couldn't find him, then the train went by and he simply waved at us! That's our boy! Addison was the best little guy, sitting in the stroller just mesmerized by all the activity. We all went home tired and happy.
