Aiden has been feeling the extra late nights recently... which has opened a whole new world of possibilities to the parents: now we can actually tell him to take a nap - and he will! Daddy sometimes forgets to specify where...
One Advent activity was making peppermint bark to give to neighbours. Aiden really liked crushing the candy canes! The resulting bark was really good, but as it was kid made... it was rather thick and somewhat of a jaw workout!
We had a house full of guests last weekend for a minute to win it party. It was loads of fun! I don't think we could have gotten much louder -11 kids and 9 adults playing competitive games is LOUD! I wonder if that is why the favoured game that everyone wanted to play was Go Tell It... Even Aiden told a story!

The lawnmower and lego were popular with the younger boys, who joined in the noise making, but not many of the games.
We had a few days to rest up, and then it was Daddy's birthday, which we celebrated quietly (mostly) at home.
