Parties, Parties, and More Parties

Friday morning was Christmas party day here at the Tijerina house.  Let me just say I was not thinking about attending Christmas parties when I decided to have three kids in five years.  It was an early release day at the school, so the parties were morning parties.  So thankful for my sister Blaire aka Aunt Bobo, who volunteered on her day off to come to the kids parties with me to help out.

My sweet and handsome Cooper.

Ninja Turtle chapstick!

 

This little sticky hand made his day! This may be the best Christmas gift he received.

He loves Ms. Stokes!

 

After the boys' parties we headed down the hall to Harper's classroom, but not before we stopped for a quick photo in front of the Christmas tree.

Harper and her friends waiting for the party to start, after the party was Polar Express, so the girls were ready in the pajamas and the hot chocolate was warming.  We were in charge of supplying that, so of course we brought red cups, red chevron straws and peppermint marshmellos, what could be better?

Sweet Friends!

I love how the home center had a Christmas wreath!

They started the party off by walking to the other classrooms and singing carols to the other classes.  I think that all Santa should have purchased for these kiddos is a set of belles, they loved the belles.

They are all such good friends!

 

After the parties, we headed home with Hagen's friend Cayden in tow, to start baking and preparing for Harper's Birthday Party the next day.  I worked on things for the upcoming weekend for hours, and I am SO TIRED by the end of this day.

 

 

 

 

 

Lunch with Mae-Mae

Monday, October 3, Hagen had lunch with Mae-Mae. The school she teaches at was out of school for fair day that day, so she promised Hagen she would come have lunch with him. He was so excited, he started counting down the days the week before. Of course, we had to pick him up Mcdonalds for lunch.

Aunt Mae-Mae, Hagen, Cooper, and Hagen's friend Austin. He needed to be in the picture too.

During lunch, Cooper spotted his "girlfriend" Presley having lunch. She waved him over and they felt the need to hug. He imformed me later, he was going to marry her.

Dentist appointment Wednesday

Last Wednesday, Hagen and Cooper had a dental check-up in Tyler. I really enjoy our pediatric dental office, they are all so nice, and hardly ever a wait, and are so patient with the kids. Hagen and Cooper have no fear of going to the dentist and that is great. Aunt BoBo is currently in dental school at Baylor and was out for the summer and she agreed to come along to help with Harper, so thankful for her.

Waiting for our appointment.

The boys had a great visit and no cavaties. After running a couple errands, we took a quick through the Braums drive-through, and was headed home. A great day.
