Work Christmas Party

Brian's work Christmas party (family party) was a couple weeks ago. It was lots of fun this year! Instead of cookies, everyone brought a finger food and it was much better this way to have a variety of yummy food. There were crafts, cookie making and a visit from Santa, of course, who brought all the kids presents. Well, almost all the kids. Nolan, Joseph & Daniel's presents were missing. Santa called every single child by name up to his lap and gave them a present. And there sat Nolan, waiting, waiting, and finally worrying. How on earth could one kid be left out? Was he that bad this year? Or did a certain Daddy elf put the presents in the wrong place? We may never know, but for a wide eyed, heart broken Nolan we quickly explained that there were LOTS of Christmas parties that day and "those silly elves accidentally took their presents to a party in Alabama." It wasn't long before the elves were able to fix the problem and Nolan had his present. Whew...pretty sure it was more traumatic for me, since Nolan thought his present going all the way to Alabama was the coolest thing in the world. Nolan & Grffin making eating decorating cookies:

They both waited SO patiently while Santa called the names of the kids:

My sweet boy smiling despite the fact Santa had no present for him. What a trooper!

Ahh, at last the present arrived at the correct party!

Daddy & Joseph:

Erin and Daniel. Erin is always such a huge help with our boys!

XOXO,
