Christmas Party...

Last night, Chris's work hosted a potluck Christmas party.  We were all pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was.  Truth be told, my expectations were very (very) low so perhaps that's why I thought it was so nice!  There were about 100+ soldiers and family members and tons of food.  Santa even swung by the party and gave each child a gift bag with 5-6 toys in it!

Henry informed us on the way home that he saw a soldier
underneath Santa's costume.  "He was just a helper, Mom."

Santa was probably thinking, "Damn, kid!  You're almost as big as I am!"
Of course I wanted to say, "He's only 7!"

Checking out their goodies
and making swaps!

I hope the boys are enjoying all of these holiday events and traditions as much as I am.  Taking them anywhere is almost always a challenge but after we're back home and they're in bed, I'm always glad we made the effort.
