Christmas Party

Respite Care had it's Christmas Party last Tuesday. We got invitations and had to RSVP to the event. Aunt Bo and Grandma went with us. When we walked in we got name tags and a schedule of events. Most the things were for the older kids but it was so nice. And so fun to do something normal. To be able to take the kids to a semi-public place, have people that knew us, knew the kiddos and adore them was great. They even recognized their friends when they saw them. And it didn't hurt that the giant cookies they had were awesome. :)

Thank you to everyone at Respite Care for throwing a fun party and letting us have a night of "normal"!
You rock!!!

Grandma, Aunt Bo, Daddy and Payton picking out her tattoo

 Payton got a polar bear tattoo on her leg. (It's sideways and kinda hard to see)

 This is Parker's penguin tattoo on his tummy. It made him very popular with the ladies. (I don't know what that face is he's making)

 Hanging out waiting for Santa to come

 LAst year we held them when Santa came because we were still in the hospital with tubes and wires.This year it was because they aren't to sure about him.

 Payton had to feel how soft Santa's outfit was.

 Santa had a present for both of them. Payton hung onto it as hard as she could. Parker liked to hit his and hear the noisy paper.
