We can officially say that we have been in London one year now. Our first big event to attend as a family was Chris’s office Christmas party. Of course, last year we were fighting off jet lag. This year we were much more chipper!
The kids had a blast with all the festivities and attention to detail.

The girls loved the crafts . .

and cookie decorating.

Caleb, on the other hand, loved the food table!

Even though there was a slight blizzard on our arrival, the entertainer was still able to make it. Last year I believe the snow came a few hours earlier and he was snowed in.

Cami loved the show and her uninhibited laugh was catching for everyone.
Caleb and I had to leave early for another event so they let us have first grabs at the Candy Bar.

When I first discovered we’d have to leave early, my first thought was ‘Oh, no. We have to miss out on the candy bar.’ Seriously, it was the highlight of the party for me last year!

The girls stayed with Chris so they could have a chance to visit with Father Christmas. He surprised them with some great gifts.

It was a great party and we can’t wait for next year’s! Emma may be reaching the end of her Father Christmas visits but you’re never too old for the candy bar!!
I remember the Christmas party post from last year. Brian and I can’t believe you’ve been there a year already! We love living vicariously through you.
