We had our brigade Christmas party last Saturday. Daniel, Ben, Xavier and I all went along and had a great time.
The party's theme was a beach party. They had a jumping castle for the kids, unfortunately Ben was too big and Xavier was to small to go on....next year for Xavier at least. Ben and I were hanging out for the little kids to get off so we could have a go but by the time the guy came at 7pm to dismantle it most kids had to be dragged off screaming so we missed out. They also set up a large blow up pool in the front carpark which proved to be no end of fun for the kids even though it was quite a cool day.
A pinata was organised for the kiddies in the shape of a Santa, there are some very troubled kids who obviously have Santa issues as some of the faces pulled whilst whacking santa were quite disturbing! Santa held out though and dispite losing his head and then having to hang by his feet he eventually had to be broken open by Bec and the sweeties tossed up for the kids.
Straight after the Santa beating came the visit from Santa riding on the back of the Cat 7 fire truck!
There is something wrong about letting kids whack santa and then have them all lining up to get a present from him! Xavier had his first Santa experience and was not phased at all, sitting on Santa's lap I think he found the kids more interesting. He got a little ducky rattle that he seems to like.
All in all we had a lovely day/evening (3pm to midnight), Xavier was very good and seemed to enjoy cuddles and coos from everyone, Ben had a ball despite being in the company of either under 10 year olds or adults.
No, this is not baby Jesus, it's Xavier partying on into the wee hours!!

Love the picture of Xavier with Santa. Most babies would be in floods of tears! Did Ben get a pressy?
It looks like Xavier had a ball at the Christmas party. I can't believe how big he is getting. I hope you guys had an awsome Chrismas.
Love claire
