CHRISTMAS PARTIES

We went to our first Christmas parties this weekend. On Saturday, the kids and I drove to CR to my Aunt Toni's for my mom's side of the family Christmas celebration. It was so fun seeing everyone. We only get together a couple of times a year, so it is nice when we can get together. The kids loved playing with their cousins. I don't think that we saw them the entire afternoon until the gifts were to be opened!!
On Saturday night, we went to my friend Sophie's house for our annual Kid's Christmas party. Each year, Santa makes an appearance and gives the kids an early gift. Typically, we rent a Santa suit/beard & beg a friend with no kids to be our Santa. This year, Sophie hired the Santa from the mall...he was AWESOME!! The kids were in awe...some even played with his REAL beard. Santa left each child with a small present to open...Jake got a set of football cards and Allie got a Fur Real chimp. Both loved their gifts and the early taste of Christmas.

Please excuse the bad photos...not sure what happened!
