Christmas Parties

We had a fairly busy weekend this past weekend.  We had 3 christmas parties, although we were only able to make it to 2 of them.  We also had a showing on the house Sunday, so before leaving Saturday, we had to get the house in order.  While we mopped the floors on the main level, the kids had to be locked in our bedroom - the only one that hadn't been vacuumed yet.  Anna got very tired!

We then headed to the Bertke Christmas party.  Santa and Mrs. Claus showed up and were quite a hit!  Anna still wasn't sure about them, but Xavier warmed upa bit.  He didn't want to sit on Santa's lap, but after a while he decided maybe he could show Santa the cars he was playing with.  That was the trick to get him on Santa's lap - but then he wouldn't get off!!!

On Sunday, the Gehret-Grieshop christmas party fell at the same time as the Bohman christmas party.  This was the first year in a few years that Grandma Bohman was up for having the party at her house, so we decided to join the Bohman's.  We had a great weekend spending time with all of the extended family and as much of a hassle it is to try to make it to all the parties, we feel blessed to actually have all of the parties inthe first place!
