Christmas

 

The Clark Christmas was celebrated at our house this year. It was our first time hosting the Clark family for a holiday. We made soups- chili, vomacka, and zuppa, along with breads, cheesecake and French silk pie. Ethan and his girlfriend Liza came down with COVID, so unfortunately weren't able to come. We exchanged gifts and everyone was once again blown away with Olivia's homemade gifts. Some highlights included homemade earrings. 

We had a nice little Christmas celebration with just us. Gifts this year included t-shirts for our upcoming Disney trip, safe Beauty Counter makeup for Olivia and money to spend at Brickmania for Henry. 

Christmas with the Stichas brought lots of laughs! We made the challenge of everyone giving homemade gifts this year, so we of course were blown away by what Olivia came up with. Everyone did a great job with this challenge and gave some great experience gifts too. I gave personalized temporary tattoos that got us all laughing. Brooke lined up a tic toc challenge of tossing whip cream in the air and catching it. So much fun! The kids rehearsed in the basement for the annual Christmas play. They even included lighting and music this year. We love spending time with family and creating these memories.
