Sunday afternoon around 2pm we ventured from the house to the first annual Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Kids Christmas Extravaganza. Extravaganza it was...there were reindeer, wax carving, face painting, the big blow up things kids play in, and man made snow (entire front yard...actually here is a quick aside. If you live in a nice neighborhood in Houston and decide to create "real" snow you should understand the process. The machine is effectively a wood chipper rebuilt to make the biggest shaved ice you have ever seen. Everyone knows how loud a wood chipper is...now imagine the noise from the ice crushing feature on your refrigerator ice dispenser on steroids. Now put all that to work on Sunday morning before people head to church. Maybe not the best plan to ingratiate yourself with the neighbors, but now Maynard (Holt) knows.)
On to the miracle. So our kiddos had not taken a nap. They also are getting to the age where the have some stranger anxiety when being held. So we roll in to a party with 50 kids plus the required parents and for almost the entire party one of the kids cried (read screamed, whaled, sobbed). There was only one perfect moment where they did not cry. And here is the picture.
Merry Christmas!!!
