The Firm's Christmas Party

In the six years that Brent has worked at his law firm, we have never been able to attend the firm's Children's Christmas Party. It has always conflicted with Breakfast with Santa at the boys' preschool. But this year it didn't, so we were so excited to be able to attend. And it was so much fun!

The extra large buffet table was filled with a breakfast especially designed for children....doughnuts, sweet rolls, decorated cookies, fruit, Chick-fil-A chick-n-minis, candy, hot chocolate, orange juice, apple juice, and coffee(!). Will was in heaven! And it was soooo good, if I do say so myself. The buffet table was beautifully decorated (I didn't get a pic because I was trying to make sure Will's little hands didn't touch all of the food!) and Will was captivated by the large choo-choo train that was circling all the way around.

There was a stage set up for singing Christmas carols with a very patient man and his guitar. I say patient, because he allowed Will to sing "Jingle Bells" to the captive audience about 6 different times while we were there. He tried to persuade Will to try another carol, like perhaps "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer", but oh no!, only Jingle Bells would do! Jack got to sing "Santa Claus is coming to Town" to welcome Santa to the Christmas party, and he could not have been more thrilled with the honor.

Jingle Bells take 1. Will introduced himself "HI! I'M WILL! I'M THREE!" Because screaming into a microphone is the way to get your audience's attention.


Jingle Bells take 6. A rousing rendition with Jack accompanying on the mini maracas! Will didn't really know the words until he got to the chorus, but he came on strong with "JINGLE BELLS!" Don't you know that everyone was glad when our family finally left =).

Jack took his duet very seriously.


We then moved on to face/hand painting. These designs were beautiful, not your usually freestyle painting. The elves used stamps to put the design on the hand or face and then went back and colored it in with paint and glitter paint. Really nice!

I'm irritated that the picture is blurry, but my camera would just not focus on the reindeer!



Next up was cupcake decorating, because we felt we just didn't get enough sugar with breakfast!

Will decorating cupcakes with Charlie. Charlie's dad, Chad, and Brent are good friends and Charlie is the grandson of the Judge that Brent clerked for.

Do you want a little cupcake to go with that candy?!?


Then it was onto balloon animals. By this time the line was a little long, but we held out for a candy cane and a tiger.



And one last turn at the mic...singing "Jingle Bells" of course!
It cracks me up that each time he had his hands firmly around that mic.


And finally on our way out the door, we stopped to say Hi to Santa and remind him that Jack wanted a fox Webkinz and Will wanted a Diego.
Santa and the 2 wild hooligans. Isn't he such a sweet-looking Santa? Santa asked if I wanted to take another picture. No Santa, the sugar has kicked in, so I think this is the best we are gonna do!

As always, the firm put on a first class party and we are looking forward to next year (if we are invited back!).

We loved the pics. How appropriate that Mimi should give Will the "Jingle Bells" singing Christmas card.

How wonderful! I am cracking up at the pictures of Will singing! The last one is frame worthy. I love it!
