For the 11th year in a row, we had a great turnout of friends to our annual Christmas party. It was especially great to see Michael and Melanie drop by considering they are on Babywatch 2015 right now. I was hoping that Melanie would have gone into labour right then and there but no such luck!
As always (or revisionist history might say), the men won the trivia cup! There is no actual cup any longer as someone must have walked off with it (or it is very well hidden in our own home) but we celebrated nonetheless after our grand victory.
I have no idea what the future will hold in terms of Christmas parties…I would like to think that there will be one each year but who knows how the baby and parents will fare with sleep and parties? But I don’t think we want to be the type of parents who shy away from attending events, but at the same time, we have NO idea what to expect and maybe it will be hell for us to even think of getting out of the house! Time will tell I suppose.
I really enjoyed hearing Jeff tell me that I would make an excellent father after he witnessed the makeshift bed I made for Felix. Melissa and Jeff both enjoyed the reading material I left for him!
Melissa and Jeff also dropped off a bag of what I am sure will be the first of many bags of baby related paraphernalia. I have to admit that there were a few items that I was perusing that I honestly couldn’t figure out what they were used for. Is it a bottle warmer? Is it something else? Who knows? They will drop and give us a crash course on the items they dropped off.
We also have to thank Mike and Melissa for giving us another excellent item for the house…an R2-D2 humidifier! Also in the photo, my favourite t-shirt was found after a long year of taking a break. It was still in the Christmas sweater I had thrown in the closet a year ago!
