A Christmas Pinata

Ok, it's not tradition, but the kids thought it was AWESOME!  Ross and Gen are up for Christmas and Gen's mother sent a holiday pinata for the kids.  They have to leave tomorrow to spend Christmas with Gen's family,  so we had a little mini Christmas while they were still here.  First order of business, the pinata.  All lined up according to age (you see Charlotta behind the snowman?  Well, she is only two weeks younger than Jackie next to her, but I think Jackie has a good six inches on her)!

 Charlotta gets the first whack (tap).  Then Jackie did not want to have a go.

 Brennen's up and takes off the snowman's head!

 

 Huh, what happened?

 But we still have to break open the body to get the candy!

 James takes care of it no problem.

 Mad dash for the candy.

 James making sure that Jackie gets some (you see she is not used to all of the choas and madness, so she tends to run away from them when it gets to be a bit much--I don't blame her, I want to do that too sometimes!).

 Enjoying the goodies!

Thanks a lot to Gen's mom!  The kids really enjoyed the pinata!
