Yesterday we went to Simon’s work party for families… It turned out to be pretty nice…

Last year wasn’t the best because of the location… it took a long time to get in, the space was small and dark and it just felt crowded… this year though the space was nice and everything turned out great…we got there early so we found a table and the boys went on the bouncy structures and didn’t have to wait too long for a few turns…

I wonder what Colin was thinking…

Then the santa clause arrived and the boys got all excited but had no problem waiting until we could get in line (it was by last name) and while we waited we helped ourselves to the buffet… and it was quite good also…

There were a few things that we couldn’t eat, but the boys had no problem with that and it wasn’t even mentioned on our part or on thiers… though I do know that Xavier noticed…

When they could go see the Santa…Xavier and Colin went to him and Khéna stayed in Simon’s arms…

The gifts are bought by age and are different for boys and girls and this year the gift were pretty cool… (last year we were not so lucky)

Khéna got a set of Crayons (the ones that are big and easy for kids to hold and can go on fingers) along with a colouring book and a wooden puzzle.

Colin got a wooden pirate themed “tock” game (simular to sorry!)

Xavier got a wooden model biplane to put together…

Anyway… the party was from 10am-1pm but since we got there before 10 and the structures were getting crowded we decided to leave at about 12… we were pretty close to the MEC which I had been wanting to go to for a while now so we stopped by there and then Best Buy for another set of controllers for the Wii that we are giving as a gift for the family at x-mas and then headed home…

We were home by 2:30 which was pretty good for having had a full day already and we ate leftovers so we were able to relax…

It ended up being a pretty nice day…
