Christmas Parties

One of the many things that I love about Christmas time is that it gives an excuse for friends and family to get together and most importantly eat good food.  On Friday the 13th our good friends the Richardson's threw a Christmas/End of the semester celebration.  It was so much fun to get so many of us together.  We bought Brooklyn a cute Christmas outfit and she had to get her use out of it so she has been wearing it a lot the last couple of weeks.

The next evening, Saturday the 14th, our ward had their annual Christmas party.  Santa came and Brooklyn didn't care one bit, but of course I needed to get pictures.  At first she was a little confused why I was handing her off to some random man and then she slowly started to freak out.

The last one is my favorite.  I was a little surprised that she didn't try to pull off his beard.  She did calm back down very quickly after we rescued her from Santa.  The following Tuesday, the 17th, my work had their Christmas party.  Each year the doctors take the employees and their families out to dinner.  This year we went to Local, a restaurant in the heart of midtown.

We decided to dress her up a little bit more for this party and give her Christmas outfit a rest.  It was nice to get together with all the girls that I used to see everyday and now only see a couple of times a month.  We've had a lot of fun so far this Christmas season.  We've seen a lot of friends and had a lot of fun with Brooklyn's first Christmas.
