St. Nicholas Party with the R's

We carried on the tradition and the R St. Nicholas party.  Everyone came down to our house for the party.  We had a potato bar and lots of other yummy food.  I made an oreo peppermint ice cream dessert that was delicious!  The kids put together foam gingerbread houses.  We sang "The 12 Days of Christmas."  Then Mom and Dad gave us a bag filled with European goodies.  There was a chocolate letter for each grandchild, even Tanner got one. (The boys helped him eat it).  Bridger tried on my wooden shoes and they were a little snug on him.  

Mom and Dad were very generous because they had a special present for each grandchild.  They didn't want the kids to wait until Christmas because they thought they needed to start using them. The kids opened up their gifts at the same time and they were big soft fleece blankets.  The girls were a "Frozen" theme and the boys either got a "Lightening McQueen" blanket or a "Spiderman" blanket.  The kids went wild with them!!!  They have loved them!!!!  It was a great gift!
