Christmas Party

I can't believe I haven't posted this yet, but it needs to go up, regardless of how late it is.

A few weeks ago, we all headed out to Illinois to go to a Christmas party with Pop, Tracy, Tony, and Jake. We ate breakfast, played, and even met Santa and Mrs. Claus. It is a great way to meet Santa since it is inside and there are things for the kids to do while we (mostly K2) wait in line.

The past years, Kevin has been too hesitant and scared to go on any of the blow-up slides. This year he showed no fear. He even did the giant castle obstacle course with me and later with Jake. He loved the pirate ship one as well, that had a big slide and jumping area. As usual, he would show great patience and generosity by allowing others who were there first to go, or stay out of the way of smaller children. There were a few times that I had to yell from the bottom that it was okay for him to go down. As for Colin, he was a bit overwhelmed by the crowd. He stayed mostly in our arms while waving and flirting with nearby girls.

Kevin was obviously more excited while waiting in line.
