Good Times Had By All

Today was the day Izzypop has been looking forward to for a very long time. She has been nagging me nonstop about how much more time until the Christmas Skating Party. It finally came. And it was everything she had hoped it would be.....or at least so she told me.  I barely saw her.  She was running non-stop the whole time playing with all her cousins.  I may have caught a couple sightings and quickly snapped a pic, but it really was like trying to get Sasquach on film.  Skeeto on the other hand was practically glued to me....until he found this little scooter.  Then off he went too.

I was able to wrestle them together for one quick shot...though Skeeto didn't seem happy about it.

Then back to fun with the cousins.

Santa was a hit as always, he put on his famous magic show....

...and some of us sat on his lap.....

...and some of us wouldn't.

And, incidentally, this is what happens when you give Uncle Layne your camera to take pictures for you. :)

PRESENTS!!!!!

Izzypop got a My Little Pony and Skeeto got some matchbox cars. 

We had a great night with family, not to mention some great food.  My happiest moment was when I was able to get the pair of them to sit at a table amidst all the fun and actually eat a taco.  Izzypop even tried a burrito for the very first time and.....gasp.....liked it!!!  Seriously, mom of the year right here.  Actually, I don't think it had anything to do with me.  It must have been a Festivus miracle.
