Holiday Party and Another Picture With Santa

Friday was L's Kindergarten Holiday Party. As you can see from the pictures below, it was also pajama day and the kids got to decorate gingerbread houses. Several parents (including me) came in to help out. It was a good thing because shortly after we started, one kid threw up on the floor (two times) and then another kid threw up because he saw the first kid throw up. It was a little chaotic but once we moved the gingerbread decorating outside, all was good! Good thing it was 70 degrees out that afternoon.


As if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, we went to the train park with our neighbors Friday night. In addition to the train, they had lots of festive Christmas lights, a carousel ride and Santa. We rode the train, the carousel and then had pictures taken with Santa. After going five years with no Santa pictures I now have two with the big guy this year alone! Luckily they only charged $5!

The even had characters in costume

Calling All Princesses

The girls (as well as D and me) had a great time at our friend's Princess birthday party. We went over early to watch college football and hang out a little. It was NOT fun watching Arizona lose (it is going to be a long/tough year for the Cats) but it was great to see FSU pull out the major upset! Anyway we all had a great time hanging out with our friends. Here are a few pictures of the girls ... hope you had a great weekend. Looks like another busy week at our house!

Before the transformation to a Princess ...

SLD as Sleeping Beauty - she was NOT happy to wear the dress!

She did warm up to it and left it on the entire afternoon!
