The Neighborhood Christmas Party

This year I decided that it would be fun to help out with the neighborhood party. I didn't do much, but it was nice to get involved (since as you know, I never volunteer to do anything). So anyway, Lee was working that day, but I thought it would be great to take the kids and enjoy.


Brenna was up throwing up Friday and Saturday night, so come Sunday she was in no shape to attend the party. I considered bagging the whole thing, but Lilly and Jackson wanted to go (and more importantly, I spent $30 on tickets already). Tyler graciously agreed to stay home with Brenna, so off we went.


I will never, NEVER, again take those monsters out in public. Never. Thing One and Thing Two are not fit for human observation. I am sure I am now the poster mom for why people shouldn't have large families. Luckily, no one was hurt (at least not any major injuries) and nothing was broken. One of the milder moments:







They did see Santa, after Jackson completely cut the line and walked right up like he owned that place....

For some reason they look miserable in this picture, but there were like 5 cameras going off at once and off course I caught this one!

Lilly had a great time dancing away!!

Oh, and the stomach bug lasted several nights for Brenna, just nights. Weird!
