Eleven, or, How Many Small People Can Fit In My House?

So I decided that the way for some of the neighborhood families to get together in an informal way would be to have a Christmas Cookie Party on the Sunday before Christmas. I never anticipated 1. that people would actually come and 2. that their children would be so well behaved. I am not kidding. There were eleven people under 8 in my house and not a peep, not a snit, not a shove or a "stop being grabby" or anything. Just eleven little kids totally rocking out. I was so proud of my girls, who liberally shared all their toys, cups, food, etc. with anyone who seemed to be in need. The De-Luxy kitchen was a huge hit. We will definitely do the CC Party v. 2.0 next year.
