Holiday Party & a Leak - 356/365

Today started out a little rough. 
Jim took Reagan to potty when she got up and the toilet ended up overflowing. Jim got it all cleaned up. Then, we ran a fan in there to help dry it out. It has been acting a little funny, so we're not sure what's going on with it. We'll have to get it checked out. 
 After that crisis was over, we went downstairs to make some pancakes. We decided to try to make them from scratch, which we have never done. Jim is the master pancake maker. When he cooks them, they are always so fluffy. We mixed em, got them all cooked and they looked perfect! We used our cool zoo pancake molds Ray and Jenn got us, so they were extra special! We sat down at the kitchen table to start enjoying them, when I looked up and noticed a HUGE water spot on the ceiling. I jumped up and started to panic! I didn't know how much water was up there. Or, if it would start dripping. Jim assured me it was fine and we would just have an pretty ugly spot on the ceiling. We just kept an eye on it and it never got any worse. It's ugly, but nothing a little primer and paint won't fix. Mark will help us! :)
 This afternoon, Jim and Brinkley went on a little stroll, while I wrapped some presents. 
 This evening, we were heading up to Adrienne and Jake's for our annual cousin's Holiday Party. We've decided to rotate it every year. Last year was ours and this year was Adrienne's. Jake made a yummy feast. He made awesome chicken breast, rice and beans, plantains, and latkas. Nikki was in charge of dessert and I had wine. I felt kind of bad everyone else was slaving and cooking, while I just had to go to the store and pick up wine. I'll take it though. 
 After dinner, Adrienne had a craft for all the kids to do. She had some foam gingerbread men that they could decorate! They had such a blast! 
 When they were done with their craft, they just played for a little bit, while we got everything cleaned up. Reagan, of course, spent most of her evening at Jillian and Evan's train table. She LOVES trains! After a while, Jillian wanted to show the kids her room. Reagan just loved Jillian's toddler bed. She said, "WOW, your bed has a door!" It was too cute! We still have her in her crib since she hasn't climbed out. LOL! 
Finally, it was time for the kids to open presents! They had such a blast and got some really nice stuff. Reagan got a couple Disney Princess Barbies and some art stuff! She was thrilled! 
 We had such a nice family fun night! Jake and Adrienne threw a GREAT party! 
The photo of the day is all of us at the party!
