We took Lyla to the children's Christmas party at my office on December 23. It's a really fun little party when you get to see all the kids. And everyone is a little bit lighter when the kids are around. There was a visit from Santa, face painting, arts and crafts, balloon animals, and an arcade room for the big kids. But the best part is that the cafeteria is filled with food just for kids (my favorite kind of food...) -- mac and cheese, chicken fingers, pizza, pigs in blankets, and pb&js -- yum. I had to work that morning and Mark was going to pick her up and bring her to my office. I left her "party outfit" for Dahlia to put her in. Unfortunately, her cute white velour pants were way too tight and she could barely squeeze her bottom in them (I guess I should have tried the outfit on first...) Mark and Dahlia managed to get them on, but they were not comfortable. I call them her "going out to the club" pants...But Dahlia is the best and sent a few back up pants with Mark so we could change her asap. Do you think she looks uncomfortable?
If she was curious about Santa last time, this time she was sure -- she did not like him one bit. She would hardly sit on lap when we were near Santa. Mark says she has a general skepticism of men, which he is in favor of :)
I think Lyla's favorite part of the party was just hanging out in my office and crawling through the hallway and visiting some of my co-workers. Here she is sitting at my desk.
