Christmas ho ho

Santa Claus made his first appearance of the season at the parade this past weekend. It seemed to be a better parade than usual, and the kids got enough candy canes to last until next Christmas.

We then headed over to the Keats' for a potluck, and the kids had a ball. Charlie was taken with Nathaniel and of course all the boy toys.

Morgan and Emily made each other over. They were so sparkly and shiney afterwards! Morgan decided she wanted to stay for a sleepover. There was no talking her out of it, so she stayed with Emily for her first friend sleepover. I was fully expecting a phone call, but not only did she stay, but she didn't come home until 1:30 the next day! She had a ball and is already trying to figure out when she can do it again.
