While living in Klamath Falls, Sean and I hosted an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party two years in a row. We had a blast and missed the fun and laughter that it brings since we didn't do one last year (Declan was only 3 months old and we didn't want to add too much to our plate). But this year, we asked my mother-in-law to watch him for a couple hours and had some of our closest friends over to help carry on the tradition! We had a wonderful time of hideous frivolity.
Sean and I also decided to go back to Jacksonville again this year to enjoy the Victorian Christmas the town puts on. It was very cold that day, but still enjoyable, and charming. We hoped Declan would be willing to sit on Santa's lap, but that was a major fail. As soon as we walked into the room Santa was in, he started crying and said "No". I then held him and walked over to Santa (he was an excellent one too) to try and help Declan engage, but that didn't work either. He continued to cry and said "All done". We were able to get a picture with him on my lap sitting next to Santa. Alas, maybe next year...
I've also bee having fun with three of my dear friends, Nina, Markie, & Emily. We've been having play dates and baking Christmas goodies. What makes it even more fun is Markie & Emily are both pregnant as well!
