Christmas Party

Last weekend we had our "annual" Christmas Party at home.  The last couple years we've been in India and haven't had it, so this was the first one since the munchkins arrived on the scene.  Santa made his customary appearance, and while there was much anticipation in the air prior to his arrival, not all kids ran to his open arms when he actually showed up.  Mika was generally ambivalent about him, quite content to watch the proceedings from a distance.  Yo, on the other hand, clung tight to the nearest adult, and even did not want to go receive the gift he had been asking for for months.

When he finally opened his gift (Cars DVD), he was just thrilled to bits. He sat down and watched the entire movie that evening; didn't care that there was a party going on.
