This is the 7th year that we’ve invited all of the people who have trusted us with their memories to join us to celebrate the Christmas season!  I look forward to our annual Christmas party every year and it really brings the joy of the season to life for our family!  We had lots of yummy brunch food and desserts, a very popular hot chocolate station with different toppings to use, Christmas arts and crafts, a letter to fill out and give (or mail) to Santa, and games to play.  Eggz the Elf is such an awesome balloon twister and face painter so of course all the kids loved her as they do every year!  And it wouldn’t be a Christmas party without Santa coming by all the way from the North Pole!  He talked with all the kids, took pictures with everyone, and then ended the party by reading, “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

Our 2 year old had been looking forward to Santa’s visit and kept asking when Santa was going to come to hold her.  We wondered if she’d still be that excited when she met him in person, and she was!  Our older daughter thought it was hilarious to show Santa her shirt which said, “Will Trade Brother for Presents.”  Santa asked her if her brother would make a good elf :).

Thanks to everyone for a fun party!  Merry Christmas!
