Advent: Church dance party

(excuse us while we catch up the entire month of December....)



In Early December we went to a party at Church, we ate, we danced ALOT and we generally had a fabulous time!


Daddy and Eliot, with a new ornament

 Lily and her new ornament

 Bruce, he likes to dress to impress

 the ornaments went over very well

 Gillian makes a friend

 There was a woman at the party who is a professional folk dance caller, she taught us a bunch of dances from around the world. It was fabulous fun. Note mom danced the entire night with Eliot attached in the Ergo. Gillian and her friend made lovely partners! Daddy and Bruce danced often, and Oliver also joined in, sometimes carried by daddy. It was a successful event all around!

 Lily, her friend and the parents of said friend.

 DESSERT!
