We had a calendar full of Christmas events this year! We had four parties but thankfully they were all on separate days. I think we might keep that our limit for the future - one party per day. I don't want to exhaust Parker (or ourselves!) and make sure everyone stays in good spirits. Parker did amazing - he spent just a few minutes acting shy at each party. But then had no problem walking around and playing with anyone and everyone!
Saturday night was Jeremy's extended family party. Sunday was brunch with my immediate family. Monday, Parker's big sister Kasey came in on the train from Minnesota. Tuesday was dinner with my extended family, and then Wednesday was brunch with Jeremy's immediate family. Phew! All of these parties and Parker has been quite the rockstar. He is so social and doesn't want to miss out on anything. Sunday and Monday he basically did not nap at all. Thankfully he was still the happy, cheerful little guy he always is.
We didn't do a whole lot for Parker for Christmas this year. We figured he would never know the difference and so we relied on our families to provide the Christmas gifts - and they did not let us down! We haven't even opened all of the new Christmas toys yet. Although Parker doesn't seem to understand - his favorite toy continues to be a kitchen pan, lid and wooden spoon!
