Would You Like To Buy My Monkeys?

After a month of planning and anticipation, the day finally arrived. The Playgroup Chrstmas Party. Julia and I have been so excited about hosting this event. And I’m telling you people, it was AWESOME. We have the best playgroup in all the land. Seriously. You so want to be in our playgroup.
I made and served my standard Santa cupcakes, among other delicious things.
I stacked those edible Santa heads on tiers and surrounded them by cute little keepsake Christmas characters like this -
- each displaying the face of a playgroup member.
I had also made a video slideshow of our playgroup from the past year and put it on DVD as a gift to each of the parents. We viewed it after everyone arrived. Then, the kids played until a special visitor arrived.
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s the hottest Santa I’ve ever seen.
Throughout the chaos, I was able to grab a tiny bit of video. There’s a 20 second snippet of my very hot husband Santa in action here.
I wish I had caught the kid’s reaction when he first came through the door. It was priceless. I’ll never forget Julia and her friends jumping around and shouting, “It’s Santa! It’s Santa!”
We had worried a little bit that Julia might recognize her Daddy through the costume - she’s not easily fooled. But we knew all was well when, after Santa left, Julia told me, “I wish Daddy could have seen Santa!”
Once the big man had left the building, the kids exchanged gifts, which was glorious because the presents were so very thoughtful and appropriate. Every child was gracious and happy, and incredibly willing to share their new toys. I’m telling you - we have the best playgroup in the world. And that’s the best Christmas present I could ever receive - a home full of friends. And maybe seeing Dave in a Santa suit.

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
What a great party! Will you get to sit on Santa’s lap later on tonight?
You’re right, I am so jealous!
We had our final mothers group for 2007 yesterday and only 2 people showed up (out of 9). I was muchly disappointed, luckily Amy had great fun playing in the park anyway.
Those cupcakes look delicious!
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus…
I love those cupcakes and am so going to steal the idea. Thanks.
Also, I do want to be in your playgroup or at least come to your house to be entertained. You live close to Alberta, Canada, right?
I am joining your playgroup. Seriously. I can’t believe what an awesome party you had or how wonderful everything sounds. You guys rock.
How cool, Leslie! In every, single way. You must be glowing.
Wow, you did an ace job ! You are truely a remarkable mom. Santa was cool…. LOL

That does sound like an awesome Christmas party. The playgroups around don’t have parties like that. I saw your video and even I can’t tell that’s Dave. Maybe he really was Santa.
I was wondering how things went. Thats’s great. How did everyone like their sock monkey’s?
I wanted to cry reading your posting! I’m so sad we missed it!!! Thank you for being our friends, WE are so blessed!
Sounds like so much fun! We did cookies over the weekend.

Dave makes a really good Santa. He does the Santa voice really well!
That is just so adorable. Merry Christmas.
