Christmas Party

I have been a member of a local moms' group since February '07. Joining the group was one of the best things I've ever done as a mom. We've met so many other great families through this group who have filled our days with playdates and park outings and our nights with parties and get togethers. It has really been great for us!

Last year the group hosted a family Christmas party for the first time. We were unable to attend, but we didn't miss it this year! Approximately 113 moms, dads and kids attended the party which was held at a local church's auditorium. The kids rode around on little cars and bikes while the parents socialized. There was a ton of food - both catered and homemade. Santa Claus himself actually came to the party! We clapped as he walked through the room and headed for the stage where each child was called to come up on stage to receive a gift. This was actually the first time Claire sat on Santa's lap and she jumped right up with a huge smile on her face! She was absolutely thrilled with her gift -- a Sleeping Beauty doll. It was the only princess doll she needed to complete her collection. How did Santa know?
