Last night was our community Christmas party. It was full of noise, kiddies, and long lines for the Clydesdale carriage ride. We spent a good amount of time in the community playroom trying to carry conversations with other neighbors over the noise & chaos of our surrounding children! Connor had a tough time warming up to the new crowds, but once he discovered a bowling game...he was golden! *Mental note to add a bowling set to Connor's Santa list. After the crowds started to piddle out, we offered to continue the fun at our house.
We jammied up, popped in a Chipmunk movie, got the fire going in the backyard, and enjoyed a late night! The kids were cozy in the living room & the adult were actually able to exchange quite a few uninterrupted words! Success!
The kids set themselves up with pillows & blanket all on their own. I walked in to find them cozy on the floor.
The night ended late for the kids---and C broke down in tears since he didn't want his friends to leave.
Luckily, the kids only live across the street, so I see future nights like this soon!
