Party Hardy

I forget how much partying goes on over the holidays. There were more invitations than we were able to accept due to sick kids.
Visits from Santa prompted all sorts of reactions. Dalanie was excited to show him the Rudolph that lit up on her shirt and asked for toothpaste and a tooth brush. Ruby didn't want anything to do with him- in fact she buried her face in my shoulder and fell asleep waiting in line at one event. Hudson was a bit critical of Santa's beard and boots, but even as a skeptic he had plenty of requests. Far too many if you ask me.





Dalanie could not get enough of Jingle Bells this year. Her beaming face was typical of any of her performances.
I couldn't believe the pinata lasted through 20 kids at the Spanish branch party. Hermano Uribe sure had those kids swinging, but usually at thin air.
