on friday night, natalie spent the night at grandma & grandpa's house, and titi celena babysat russell while russ and i went to our friends brittani & jonathan's house to play some games. all i have to say is: SANTA, if you're listening, i would REALLY like a Wii fit game. (but that might take a miracle to happen).
on saturday, we attended my office's annual "santa party" which revolves all around the kids of the firm. we went the last few years and it's always been a lot of fun. watching the kids' faces as santa comes down the stairs is just priceless. in fact, this year, my kids pretty much attacked him and were the first to sit on his lap. i couldn't believe it -- what a difference from last year! in addition to sitting on santa's lap, they also enjoyed getting their faces painted, making a snowman ornament, watching the magic show (and petting the bunny and bird afterwards), the yummy christmas treats, and of course the present they got from santa :)
later that night, mommy and daddy had yet ANOTHER grown up function to attend. our friends charlie & emily were having a cocktail party at their house. cheers to good food and good friends!
sunday we tried to relax and went to church later in the day than normal, then went to a late lunch with russ's parents (aka: nana & papa). we ate so much that we had to skip dinner!
later that night we took a ride with nana & papa to check out some christmas lights around our side of town. there is this one house that goes all out and sets up a light show to music from their very own radio station. it's absolutely amazing. somehow they managed to make improvements from last year's show! i think we are going to drive out there again before the holidays are over.
so without further ado, here are the pics fro our weekend:
russell got a snow scene painted on his face:
natalie asked for the same butterfly that she got last year:
they were so cute on santa's lap:

the magic show:
it looks like russell was hogging the bunny
