We had Kaitlyn, Doug, Talon, and Alec from Melissa and Jake Johnson &
Jaxon and Abigail from Angel and Jason Jonson (ages ranging from 8 to 1 yrs old)!
FUN CRAZY JUMPING TUMBLING FUN!
We had a big dinner for the kids full of lots of chicken nuggets (dino shaped), homemade french fries, and of course veggies. Then Uncle Jarid and all the kids built a large fort with Christmas lights and sheets, but we ran out of sheets so the sides suffered a little. Afterwards we pulled all the mattresses in the living room and set up camp! The kids all slept on our king size mattress, and Jarid and I got a full sized mattress that was not so soft and nice. After the mattresses went down there was TONS of jumping and tumbling!
These two squirts were the wildest! Alec and Jaxon are both 2 (Alec is now 3, but 2 at the time), but they loved each other and fuel the mischievousness of the other.
After the fort was all built and it was getting late we all bunched up in our places to watch a movie: "Jungle Book 2."
In the morning we woke up and Doug was missing. I found him wedged between two other kids stealing their blankets and pillow space, and Jaxon had wiggled his way onto our bed squishing Jarid. They all slept really well with no interruptions during the night! THANK HEAVENS! However, I was dying because the mattress we got was not comfortable at all! We had a super yummy breakfast with the kids of pancakes and eggs, and then the parents came and got them all. They were all gone as quick as they came, and yet the mess remained. I had to work that Saturday so I left the mess and told Jarid I help would clean it when I came home. TO MY SURPRISE...I came home to a perfectly clean house. What an amazing husband I have and what an awesome family I married into!
What a fun night we had!!
