University Club Christmas Party

This is the 2nd year Papa and Nonnie have taken us to the University Club Christmas Party. It's fun to have Ellie go to this event since Mom and Dad used to take Nancy and I to this when we were kids.

The club goes all out for this. There was a buffet of food with all kid friendly food - they know who their audience is. And of course there are visits with Santa. On top of that, there was a show from one of Ellie and Colin's favorite book series (If you take a Mouse to school).

Don't you love Colin in his bow tie? His pants had little bulldogs with Santa Hats on them. Such a stylish little guy!

There was a petting zoo and a giant caterpillar bouncy house.

There was face painting (Ellie went with candy canes and Colin went with batman) and balloon animals (Ellie went with Rudolph).

The cookie decorating was a hit again this year and yet again the cookie did not make it home without being crushed in my purse. Oops!

And I believe Ellie's favorite part was the Ball Pit so deep that we lost her once or twice.

And I'm sure there were more activites we didn't even get to. The only problem is, Ellie keeps asking me when the Pink Bike is going to show up under the tree that she asked Santa for. Doesn't really get why we have to wait until the 25th. We'll have to work on patience.

Thanks for the fun, Nonnie and Papa!
