Christmas parties



We hit the party circuit hard this year, with visits at my dad's home, my mom's home and lunch with Skip's parents.  The girls could not get enough of the celebrations, and William George took to the party scene as well. 

The girls love to aboard PawPaw and Ms. Eva's sleigh.  William George, who was dressed as Santa to match his sisters, is too little to navigate the sleigh alone.  Next year, George; there is always next year.




How I managed to miss photographing George in his Santa suit is a mystery.  He must have been hot, necessitating a change into something cooler.  Anyrate, here he is with his new best friend, the original Curious George. 



The word on the street about George is that he is too nosy/curious to take afternoon naps because his sisters are home from school, and he is much too curious about what they may be doing.  Additionally, he will not take a morning nap in the nursery at church because he has to be constantly alert to his surroundings. 

In his defense, these two make a lot of noise:


After celebrating with dad, we had our Christmas party with my mom on the 23rd.  Lauren and Gracie love their Uncle James.  When they were discussing Santa, Gracie asked James what Santa was bringing him.  When Uncle James confessed that Santa might not bring him anything because he had not been very good, Gracie adopted a very austere manner, as if she was comprehending that what she had heard viz. the naughty list could be true.

Perhaps it was James's behavior toward gifts and shaking them to guess their content that landed him on the bad list: 



We reassured that Uncle James would probably be visited by Santa after all. His behavior has been good overall.



On Christmas Eve, we had lunch with Skip's parents and enjoyed wonderful company and good food. We were all set for Santa's arrival.
