Holiday Parties

The holiday season is in full force. Yesterday evening was the holiday party at Nicholas' school and this evening was Joe's department holiday party. Nicholas' party was cute and it was nice to meet his friends' parents. The older kids sang some songs, Santa was there--overall cuteness. Nicholas liked the idea of Santa being there, but if I took him within 2 feet of Santa, he would start with "no no Santa."

Tonight we had a lot of fun at Joe's department party. I got to talk with a bunch of people I rarely see anymore, and Nicholas got to see Alice and played with an older girl who created lots of fun games.

And, as has become our tradition, we took pictures in front of our tree while we were all dressed up for the department party.
