I'm still working out what to do about the picture problem on the blog but I didn't want to give it up entirely in the meantime! We started off December with a day packed full of fun and the kids made it all the way through without any complete meltdowns.
This morning we went to Pat's work for their kid's Christmas party. They always do a great job and always have the same basic elements that the kids look forward to -doughnuts, Santa, games and prizes. We couldn't convince Paige to sit with Santa or even stand near him (remember this picture of Owen?) but she did accept a candy cane from him.
After that, we headed straight to our playgroup Christmas party/gift exchange. Everyone had such a great time, I don't think it would have even occurred to the kids to head home if we hadn't told them it was time to leave (and even then it took a lot of convincing...). These people have been a big part of our lives for a long time and it's getting harder and harder to all get together at the same time so today was extra special to all of us!

After the party, we came home, added some layers of clothing and went to the Christmas parade for our city. The kids were excited to see the parade and I'm so glad we went. Pat and I questioned whether or not we were pushing our luck by going to the parade but the kids were totally enamored by everything. We let them ride the carousel and stopped on our walk home to watch the fireworks too. The weather was perfect! We did so much today and it's only December 1st, I can't imagine what's in store for the rest of the month!
