December just FLEW by for us! We had so many fun events that just makes the Christmas season that much more special! We are so blessed to have so many friends and family to celebrate with!
Our neighborhood is just wonderful! We started a
bunco group and we got together and had a cookie exchange! Christmas cookies and happy hearts this is how the holiday starts!
This was at the kid's Christmas party at Marc's squadron. Santa flew in to visit our kids in a T-6 (Marc's plane he is current flying) and passed out gifts! Ana got a Barbie Pilot and she loved her!
Marc's squadron also had an adult Christmas party at a lovely
restaurant/tea room. This is Marc's Squadron Commander! He lost the bidding war and had to wear the "elf outfit". SUCH a good sport. Fun times...fun memories!
We found a VERY neat area of cuties stores and tea rooms about 20
mins away from our house. At Christmas time ALL the shops and businesses dress up "Dickens like" and transform into an "Old World Christmas"! Complete with horse carriage rides, hot cider/chocolate, Father Christmas walking around, and Christmas caroling around the "town tree". There was also a Christmas Carol play that was performed at the gazebo. One of my family traditions growing up is going to the Christmas Carol play every year. Marc and I have continued this tradition. Ana loved it and this was the man who starred in the play. He was AMAZING! It was a WONDERFUL night! This will be something we do every year while living here.
Again, our fun neighborhood did a "Christmas Progressive Dinner". This is where you go to
everyone's house for 30
mins and eat, drink, and be merry! We had 13 couples who participated and it was a great way to see
everyone's Christmas decorations and become more
aquanted with each other! WE ALL HAD A BLAST! But one of the best parts was our babysitter lives in our neighborhood and she with one other friend took our kids for the night and they had their own "Christmas party". Ana had a blast and crashed at her house until we were done and we carried her home.

WOW! These are some great memories. Looks like an amazing Christmas season for you all. Ana was just adorable in her Christmas dress. Glad she did so well in the performance. Happy 2009!
