What a busy weekend we have had here! On top of Mommy working 12 hour shifts both Friday and Saturday nights, we had the Edwards family Christmas party on Saturday afternoon. Santa made a surprise appearance at the party. With LOTS of kids there, he got an earful of what everyone wanted for Christmas, but he still had time to check with Cara. It was nice to see all the relatives, but Daddy had a basketball game at school (pep band), and with Mommy having to leave for work, not a lot of time to visit.Grandma and Grandpa F took Cara home from the party to babysit until Daddy would pick her up. But she fell soundly asleep before he could get there, so Cara had her first sleepover without Mommy and Daddy. So Daddy went home and Mommy picked her up on her way home from work in the morning. I am sure her other grandparents are anxiously awaiting there turn at a sleepover.
Sunday afternoon was "A Blue Christmas" concert with the jazz bands and jazz choir at Daddy's school. It was a wonderful concert filled with jazzy Christmas tunes. Grandma and Grandpa F joined in the festivites. Grandma and Grandpa A were also supposed to attend, but Grandma A is still under the weather and unable to be around Cara. Hot chocolate, coffee and a wide variety of desserts were served prior to the concert. Hardly needed hot chocolate with weather like this, but it is the season. Cara wore a new dress to the concert and looked adorable but silly Mommy and Daddy forgot the camera. We will have to get dressed up in it again soon for some pictures.
One last week of teaching before Daddy has 2 weeks off for Christmas break. Yeah. With all the concerts now behind him, this week should be a little less stressful. We can't believe that Christmas is in a week, where has the time gone?

Sounds like Cara had a busy weekend. She sure looked like she was remembering everything that she need to remind Santa of. Looking forward to our Xmas together.
