I Can't Really See, But I Can Still Par-ty

Big party at preschool to celebrate Christmas. (And Hanukkah, and Kwanza, of course.) Anna wore her red Christmas dress and insisted on wearing both her fishie watches and her favorite purple and green beads. The kids had made these "headresses" which I think were supposed to be bows (a la Christmas presents) but the way they all put them on, they all ended up looking a bit like pilgrims at Thanksgiving. Any way you look at it, the whole thing was completely adorable.

They also sang Christmas carols for the parents. They also ate the Christmas cookies they had made at our apartment.

Anna chose to eat the biggest one. By far. I mean, other kids opted to eat bells, or the snowman, or the airplane, or the horse, or hey some even ate the crackers, cheese or carrots--but Anna went right for the cookie in the shape of the huge gingerbread man. She basically is holding only half of it in her hand. It's not like we don't give her sweets at home, you know...

Oh yes, I forgot to mention Jack was there, too. (Tommy was sleeping.) After I snapped this photo, I looked up long enough to realize that I didn't see Jack anywhere.

No worries--he was in the bathroom, splashing happily in the potty.
All the other parents assured me they thought this was funny...
