Christmas Party Season

Ugly Sweaters Christmas

Tonight kicked off the Christmas party season. Allison and I have two on the books this month. This one was at the home of Andrew’s teacher. We went last year and had a very nice time. We had a nice time this year as well but I am coming down with something and so I hung back so as not to get anyone else sick. Of course, I hang back because parties are tough for me anyway. I can’t hear anyone in the conversation I am having but can hear all other conversations happening around me. So, I find that part difficult. It isn’t the talking to people or making conversation it is that I feel self conscious about making people repeat what they are saying in a loud environment.

This party was packed and there was a huge representation of different ugly sweaters. One gentleman even had a shirt/sweater that had a hold cut in it to look like a tree and the shirt said Hairy Christmas. It was so funny. I could not pull something like that off but that was certainly a top ugly sweater.

We went home fairly early and watched some This is Us and then fell asleep on the couch so I could get up and go to work.

The kids are on the Cape with my parents to enjoy Christmas comes to Falmouth. They went to a tree lighting tonight and will go to a parade tomorrow.

Tonight Eva had the premiere of Godspell Jr. She was one of the storytellers. The storytellers were the ensemble and they each acted out some of the parables and stories surrounding Jesus. They had lines and Eva got to be a part of one parable about a servant serving two masters and then as Jesus separated the crowd into sheep and goats. Eva was a sheep and she did such an amazing job as a sheep. She was even pretending to chew grass from side to side like sheep do. She did that so well.When she was the servant serving two masters he pretended to be a dog and that made the director take notice and he’s going to use that again.

Eva was so happy to be a part of this production. The kids did a great job and I think she made some nice friends on the cast. I know that she is going to be all ready to get going on another production as soon as she can.

We were joined by my mom and dad and my sister, Shelby. My Aunt Donna also came and one of Eva’s former teachers came to show support.
