A Gathering and Project 365

So, I will post about the gathering... yet... but again, this is another Project 365 update overload!
Enjoy!

Day 196 - Dec 14
Baby M and her Grandma... eating Christmas cookies.


Day 197 - Dec 15
The doll Grandma brought over that day. It used to belong to her. Baby M isn't interested in her yet, but I'm sure she will be eventually.

Day 198 - Dec 16
The school concert we went to that evening... as a surprise to some friends kids of ours! It was fun!

Day 199 - Dec 17
Baby M enjoys stacking all her Little People on the little table on the couch.

Day 200 - Dec 18
This was our small group Christmas party, and all the little ones got gifts to open from the host family that week. We had a great time playing games and eating lots of good food!

Day 201 - Dec 19
On our way to another friend's Christmas Party after shopping at the mall in the city... I had to finish getting my husband's Christmas gift. Baby M was just thrilled to be at the mall where all the people were, haha.

Day 202 - Dec 20
The Christmas gathering on my dad's side of the family. It's a big one, and a lot of fun. My dad dressed up as Santa this year (because he had the beard for it and bought the Santa suit to make all his deliveries in this year... he drives a truck and delivers meat inner city). So, all the great-grandchildren of my grandma had their presents from her delivered by Santa. It was cute. Then there were the grandchildren and children (or, dad's siblings) that decided to sit on his lap and ask for presents while posing for photos. It was hilarious. I could perhaps share a few of those pics a bit later...

Anyway, the gathering was a hoot. My husband and I didn't participate in the ticket pull, so we didn't open any presents ourselves, but M got one from my grandma (a cute little doll... although she doesn't seem all that interested in dolls right now for some reason). We played games, ate food, sang songs, listened to a bit of the Christmas story, and had a great time. Here are only a couple of photos from the day... I may share more later.
My hubs got tired... this was all you could see of him.


Baby M eating trail mix from a cup.

Baby M and Niece A playing with the tree and fireplace. They were so cute together, dancing with the Christmas music, running around, and M was so talkative today! She was just go go go! It was hilarious!
Well, that is all I'll post for now, as my nose is running away again (I had to catch a cold Tuesday night... probably partially due to the varnish smell that came into the house when I opened the door after finishing my daughter's gift... it really wreaks havoc on the nose/throat). So, I'll post more later... especially since I'm DONE my LIST! WOO!
Merry Christmas!

Your dad wore his Santa suit while he was trucking?? That's hilarious...and so sounds like something my father-in-law would do, seeing as he's been a trucker & has dressed as Santa for his nieces & nephews. Your dad has the beard; my FIL has the...figure...lol :)
