Tabitha invited us up for a belated birthday celebration for me. She cooked me chicken and dumplings and fried okra. I had never had either dish and thought both were absolutely delicious! And also a moist and tasty chocolate cake :) I love this woman! Tabitha even planned special craft projects for the kids to make their own Christmas ornaments.
Owen took great care in coloring in his wooden ornaments.
Tweety supervised from the kitchen counter. When she wasn't throwing left hooks at my face.
Next craft was making snowmen ornaments by painting their palms white and grabbing the ball ornaments from the bottom. The fingers would become the snowmen.
Can you tell our girl likes paint?
She had to have both hands painted to make her two snowmen ornaments.
Poor Ben had the froggiest little voice while we were there. But he played as hard as the rest of them, tearing around the house like a crazer. The next day he spiked a 102.7 fever and ended up laying low for the next week.
Alex was the last to be painted to make his ornaments. I love the focused look on his face as he watches his big brother make his ornaments.
All the kids gathered round to watch Alex make his. I think they were wondering if he would do something crazy because this boy is a wild thing!
I had such a fun night and so did the kids! I wish my friend lived closer and our kids could play together more. Hard to find such good friends!
