A Night with Santa


This year’s Ward Christmas Party was a blast.  Not really, but it was better than last year.  Why may you ask?  (1) I wasn’t there by myself.  Nancy, Brands, Rachel and her kids, Jennifer and her kids were there.  (2) I didn’t have to participate in the program, which means no practicing! (3) Baby Teddy got to see Santa for the first time and loved it!  I also happened to show up 30 minutes late and forgot they were having dinner. 

Explanation:  Zach was working graves that night, so as usual I made him dinner and had it ready by 4:00 pm.  I ate with him, not thinking about the ward party dinner until we got there.  As for being late, the invitation said it started at 6:30.  I was planning on being there about 10 minutes early to get a good seat and have time to relax, but I ran a little late and got there at 6:35.  Well, I guess the Bishop announced that Sunday that the party was at 6:00 and apparently I wasn’t paying any attention to the change.  Oops!  So I missed out on a good dinner with potatoes and gravy and most of all dessert, but I was there for the program.  Yippee!!


 But, in the end we had a fun time and Skylar got his picture with Ted on Santa’s lap, so all was well!
