We hosted our third and final party in a week's time. After our dance friends party last Saturday and our little gathering for Molly on Tuesday, this afternoon we had one more dance-related party for the group of girls Ava dances with every week. The dance company's official party this year was at a laser tag place, and most of our girls are not old enough or brave enough that they wanted to go, so we just decided to have a little open house deal here at our home. Only 4 other families ended up coming, but it was really nice. The girls ran around squealing, played school, doctor, and all manner of other things. The parents got to get to know each other better and share some time outside of the dance studio lobby, which is always nice. In the end, I think it was a success.
It the end it was also a VERY long week. By mid-afternoon today Jocelyn looked like she had been in a prize-fight, she had such dark circles under her eyes. As soon as the last of our guests left at 6:45pm, the girls headed straight for the bathtub. Ben wanted to treat the girls to a movie, so we picked a nice short Grinch feature. Ava fell asleep before it was even over, and all three girls were in their beds and passed out by 7:45pm. I don't blame them. I love the holidays and all the festivities that go along with them, but sometimes an early night is in order. I am following suit and going to bed before 9pm. After all, we've got to rest up for the fun that actually comes on Christmas!
