A Weekend Full of Christmas

Last weekend was full of Holiday parties and festivities. On Friday we got our Christmas tree and Josie loved helping decorate. Her favorite part were the white lights. She kept saying "look at the pretty lights" and "Good job, Mom"

On Saturday we went to our second annual Teddy Bear Breakfast. My friend, Christina, organizes this holiday breakfast as a fundraiser for Providence Hospital. It comes complete with Santa and Mrs. Claus, a life sized Teddy Bear and lots of food and entertainment. One of her favorite things was the reindeer all decorated with white lights. She petted it gently at least 40 times.

Here is Josie and Santa. She is still not all that comfortable but at least she is not crying like she did last year. Check out the two photos below:

Josie had a great time with her friend Kaedon. I think Kaedon is about the only child I know that is more affectionate than Josie.

Saturday night we met up with friends and walked up to the Junction here in West Seattle to attend the big tree lighting cermony. Josie, Marty and I did the honors of plugging in the tree and turning on the lights. For Josie first time on stage she did pretty well.

Sunday morning we had a Holiday brunch for everyone in my PEPS group. The restaurant had a great kids area so it was almost like a built in babysitter. Our table was right next to a big doll house and train table and bunch of other toys. The kids played while we ate. Here is the whole group.
