Ward Christmas Party

This year, as usual, Jake had to study while I took the kids to the ward Christmas party. After enduring the unusually crazy Halloween party where the kids just played in the nursery the entire time so either Jake or I had to sit in there the whole time, I was a bit apprehensive. The party was supposed to be low-key, basically a catered dinner and a visit from Santa. SO...we decided to attempt it. The dinner was REALLY good (honey baked ham--even the kids ate a ton!) and I got to visit with a few friends, but ultimately the kids migrated to the nursery and the toys so we left before Santa came. I did manage to get this picture of Sydney standing in the nursery though. She doesn't look like she's having too much fun...but I LOVE this outfit (compliments of Aunt Connie) and it's another shot of her great boots! She is such a sweet little thing. She's going to be a great big sister!
