Holiday Parties!

 It's that time of year again where we get to celebrate the holidays with friends!

The first of the season was with this awesome group of women I volunteer with from PEP.

Next up was Holley's annual party. (I didn't bring a camera and stole this one from Sarah.... So it's all I've got to show)  :(

  Then we had our "company" party with the girls

and the boys ;)

The dinner was at Seagrass

followed by more fun at The Savoy. 

And the final party of the year was a fun (and funny!) dinner with my friends Holley, Meredith and Karen at Harry's.  All I have is this blurry picture of me leaving in a limo.... don't ask.....

Looking forward to next year!

Preschool Christmas Concert

Last week Samantha's preschool had their Christmas Concert.

 All dressed up and ready to go!

 Rarely do the teachers at preschool get to see Thatcher with his hair combed and in something other than his pajamas.  They were impressed!

                     The kids were so cute on stage singing and dancing

Samantha is about the sixth kid in on the far left, right next to Connor.

And then a fun family dinner of video games and spaghetti with the Stone family at Petrini's.

Loving this holiday season!

Our Christmas Tree

 Samantha picked out the perfect tree

 Happy to bump into good friends! 

Todd carried the tree all the way home like this.  So strong and manly!

My little decorator (Thatcher is an UN-decorator....)

Downtown Holiday Parade

Last Friday evening we walked downtown to watch the Holiday Parade on State Street.

Our little Elf, excited for the parade!

Samantha's buddy Connor joined us

Samantha and Connor lucked out with front row seats.

The kids were excited when they saw their babysitter Amber in the parade.  She is the cheer coach for Dos Pueblos High School.

The giant gingerbread was a huge hit to the kids

After the parade we walked up to Los Gallos for a late night dinner.

And then headed home for a sleepover
