I am obsessed with holidays. My mother always made them so special. But now, I am the mom, and we're about 2/10. I'm not sure what conspiracy is going on in my house. Perhaps, it's that my expectations are too high. Perhaps, it is the kharma of the universe telling me to stick it. Whatever it might be, our holidays always seem to result in some minor disaster, usually dealing with Treyson John.
This night? The ward (church congregation) Christmas party. Lots of wonderful people. Lots of sick potluck food which 14 people have already sneezed in. Lots of hyperactive children and SANTA. What more could one ask for? My kids were all dressed in their coordinating outfits and I was prepared with video camera AND camera. Mom of the year.
At first, things started out swimmingly. Oakley was red eyed, but happy.

Treyson was spending his time showing his 5 year old girlfriend his booty dance (no, I did NOT teach him this.)
Reagan was cute, albeit, a little greasy from the fight she got in with her mashed potatos.
But, alas, disaster struck. Treyson eyed Santa entering the building.
The girls started out, inquisitive, but okay.
And the downhill spiral continued.

I'm DYING of laughing! That sounds EXACTLY like what one of my kids would do. JILL was notorious for puking when she didn't like something. We went 6 weeks straight at church her puking the minute we stepped foot into the nursery. I seriously considered going inactive. :)
This is why I love you andrea. You take pictures of your kids puke. Youre able to laugh at things that would make most people cry! For sure admire that quality in you!
