We showed up at the Christmas party unfashionably early ...
... right after Mark!
There was no one else there!
We weren't alone for long. The kids had fun playing outside.
The neighborhood isn't as safe as it used to be when we were kids.
The party was just getting started ...
Time for food!
We enjoyed seeing the smiling faces of family we don't see every day. (Here's Erin with Caroline.)
... a change from the unsmiling faces we do see every day.
Just kidding!
Mom made the wassail (and this sign). The wassail had spilled all over her in the truck on the way to the park.
The kids were sooo ready to see Santa!
Well, the big kids were, at least!
Here's Santa, walking through the door! (Although Scott has reportedly gained 25 lbs. since last Christmas, he still had to fluff himself up with some extra pillows.)
Gabe knows the truth about Santa, but he got to visit with him anyway!
Hanging out by the snack table.
Grandma, Buddy, and Max, watching Santa and the kids. Behind them are newlyweds Matt and Jennie.
Joe, Sandy, and her son Adam.
The legendary Mrs. Roach was at our Christmas party!
Here's Max saying, "Kak kak?" and pointing to animals in his new book. Other than a very scary encounter with Santa (which I need to figure out how to upload), I think he could get used to this Christmas thing!
