I have officially kicked off the Christmas season by attending my first holiday party! And let me tell you it was some party!! I got to skip my nap, dress up in my new Christmas dress (including my new red party shoes!), eat a lot of chocolate kiss cookies with Stacy, get the Christmas tree "tour" with Anne, play connect four with Dawna, and hang out with Cheryl's daughters. By the end of the evening I was exhausted!
Probably the best part though getting to play Anne's piano (as I am still talking about it to Mom and Dad!). Seeing as this was my first encounter with one that wasn't made by Fischer Price I was a bit intimidated at first (where were the color coded keys??). But after a few warm up rounds of "Chopsticks" and "Mary had a little lamb" I was rockin. I quickly launched into fairly snazzy versions of "Jingle Bells", "White Christmas", and "Frosty the Snowman" among others. Then to top it all off I even sang along to a few of the pieces! It was an awesomely good time!
(Side note: I don't even think my audience noticed the little button that I pushed on the piano to make it play a previously recorded version of all of these little ditties. I know... very Ashlee Simpson/SNL esque...but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.)
So, what do you say guys...same time next year? (Thanks for the wonderful festivities Anne!!)
Dawna took a picture of me and the fam...pretty jolly crew, huh.
