The Last Xmas Gathering

This past Saturday I got together with my girlfriends to celebrate Xmas. We do this every year and get the kids together for a play date, brunch and present opening. This year I was nominated to host the gathering because the ladies wanted to see the new house. I was happy to host now that I have the room.

It was so much fun this year to see Max interact with my friends kids. He is now at the age that after a good 30 minutes of watching to make sure it's ok, he will join in on the fun.

The chaos began at 10:30am with the kids wildly excited to play and us ladies super excited to get together and enjoy mimosas. The boys started off getting crazy in the ball pit.


Riding bikes.


Lots of playing.


Izzy's favorite part was licking Mona's face constantly...poor girl!


The kids (and Jessica) enjoying my quiche that I made for the first time and turned out quite excellent.

The kids favorite part...presents!



Taking the cars for a drive in the side yard. I am so glad the kids came over to show Max that it's ok to drive the cars. Since Christmas he has been afraid to drive them. He would play in them, but not push the pedal. Stella showed Max how to drive the car and now that's all he wants to do.




Since Saturday Max has been asking me where his friends are. He shows me the picture that Stella made for him. He is so sweet and beyond cute when he does this. I am so happy he is coming out of his shell and playing with friends...especially my friends kids.

We need to do more play dates because Max was exhausted after playing for a couple hours. It wore him out and it was awesome! Until next year!
