4 Parties in 24 Hours

Wow. The hoilday season sure is full speed ahead. I am finally sitting down after going to 4 parties in 24 hours. Let's go through the details.

6pm Friday. Grown up party for Ryan's squadron. We had not gone to one in 4 years, so we were excited! They had a buffet with TONS of food - ham, potatoes, rolls, green beans, corn, pie, etc! I had a nice time chatting with people from his work. We also won $50 in door prizes!



11am Saturday (after the Y for working out and shopping MAJOR deals at Walreens). Birthday party for Nicholas (my friend Maureen's son from work). We met at Port Warwick to ride the train and visit Santa. Natalie got a goodie bag of toys, reindeer antlers and candy.



12pm Saturday - Squadron Children's Party. We took Natalie for hot dogs, chips and MORE desserts. Then she made a few ornaments and pictures at the craft tables. She did not want to stop 'color paper'. But finally an alarm went off and you could hear a lot of jet noise. The doors to the hangar opened and SANTA came down a ladder out of the cockpit. I got tears in my eyes watching Natalie's eyes light up. Then they had all the kids sit down while they called out the names for them to come up and get a present (prewrapped and dropped off by the parents). She got bath crayons!




4pm Saturday - Chuck E Cheese for Tyler's birthday. I mainly went to help Heather (The Perry's) wrangle all the kids and help serving the food. Natalie had a ball and got enough tickets to get a magic wand. She talked NON STOP about Chuck E Cheese all the way home. We are tired of taking pictures at this point! I might get one of Heather and I to put up later. But here is Natalie enjoying her crayons in the tub.




Finally, she is in bed and I am on the couch achy and worn out. But it was fun, and nice to spend all day having fun with my family.
