Condie Christmas Party

I know Christmas (and New Years)  has come and gone, but I have some catching up to do...
At the Christmas party for my mom's side of the family, the kids had their first encounter this year with the big SC.  McKenna was, of course, a little shy and would only agree to stand next to him and talk. 


Ben took a small glance up at Santa's face, looked at me, and as soon as he saw the light of the camera, he flashed some huge grins!  


Enjoying her gift from Santa

More big cheesy grins with Uncle Jonathan

All those (in our group) who attended this year with some of our winnings from the annual raffle.  Fun!  
We've had a wonderful time this year decorating our home for the Christmas season since we couldn't last year due to our condo being "staged" to be sold. We had most of our stuff packed and stored away (to de-clutter the place) including our Christmas decorations.  I was also 8 1/2 months pregnant and was unable to NEST!!  Suffice it to say, last year's holiday season was pretty miserable.   

This year's been pretty great!  McKenna is officially cognizant of Santa and they have both really gotten into it (perhaps a little too much. As I'm typing this a lower strand on our pre-lit tree went out... Ben especially loved that section).

Oh man are those fabulous cheesy grins! It does become so fun as the kids start to understand what is going on :)
