Stealing an idea from my friend Jen, we decided to have a grocery bag snowball fight (not a lot of real snowballs in South Carolina). The kids snuck up on Dad...
...and unleashed their snowballs.
I wasn't sure it would be fun, but the kids had a blast.
Then Baylie wanted to be buried in "snow."
And we had a bit of a sumo fight.
I pulled a Bill Cosby and let the kids have cake for breakfast. It was a Christmas cake they had made the day before.
Jalen was in heaven.
We went to a Christmas party with tons of our good friends. One of the activities involved getting an Oreo from your forehead to your mouth without using your hands.
We made candy houses, which did not survive the party. They were eaten almost at once.
Jalen also did not survive the party and crashed as soon as we got home.
We spent three days doing Baylie's hair.
Day 1: parting and clipping into sections with barrettes
Day 2: putting in yarn extentions and twisting
Day 3: putting in beads, cutting and burning the ends.
I think it's the best job we've done so far.
Tonight we went to see a huge light show at a local park. They do an amazing job. (My camera is not quite as amazing.)
This is how Baylie enjoyed the show (notice her foot out the window - it was raining).
This is how Jalen enjoyed the show.
He did wake up at the very end and get super excited about the lights. We ended up driving around the park twice.
On another note, tonight was supposed to be the end of the world according to the Mayans. So far, we're still alive and well. Even if it is the end, I'm surrounded by my family, so I'm good.

You guys are always doing the funnest stuff. We usually do more but I'm just not feeling up to it this year. Baylie's hair is amazing. I'd send you some snow from Utah but we're lacking on snowballs this year as well. Probably no white Christmas for us!
