Santa Claus & Holiday Pub Crawl

We had a weekend full of fun Christmas parties for the kids and parents! First, Isla was invited to Meredith & Delaney's gingerbread house party. The kids decorated their houses in all kinds of candy while the snow fell outside. After the decorating we had a very special guest . . . Santa Claus himself. It was a perfect day to get into the spirit of the Holidays.

All the kids sitting patiently on the sofa waiting for Santa:
Isla wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about when Santa came:
She slowly warmed up to him and waited patiently for her turn to sit on his lap:
When it was finally Isla's turn I put her up on Santa's lap expecting her to burst into tears. To my surprise she actually sat on his lap for a good minute before the tears came. I was so proud of my brave little girl!
All the younger kiddos playing with Eli's toy that he got from Santa:

After the kid party on Saturday, Ryan and I got all dressed up for the parent Christmas pub crawl that night. Grandma Connie came down to Boise to stay with Isla so her parents could party it up! And party it up we did.

Ryan and I pre-party:

So the invitation to the Christmas pub crawl said "dress to impress" and the Kearneys and Glavins took that to a whole new level. Their outfits had me laughing all night:
Here is the entire group at the first bar:
Second bar:
Third bar (you will notice that the group shots are starting to go down hill):
The fourth (and final) bar:
The pub crawl was a definite success!
