Christmas Parties

Tonight we had the annual Fireman's Christmas party. It was held in a local business of a couple of the firefighters and it was fun. Not raging good time but good clean fun. After the first Christmas party of the season, which was my company party with lots of food, alcohol and as the night wore on the whispers of who was going to get the dildo for the white elephant present, we decided that it would be best to put Kells in his pajamas for this one. With him being in his pajamas the wake up factor when we got home would be less. Well, the plan was good, the results were even better. Kells didn't sleep at all. He charmed, wooed, entertained, and was just an all around joy for everyone there. He flirted with a 4 year old little girl named Lucy who was wearing a red velvet dress with faux fur on the hem. So adorable. If he's gonna go for older women at least he has taste. He stole legos from a cute 7 year old boy who was a push-over and thank goodness because my baby is just 14 months after all. The elder women swooned and the younger gals giggled. He was the life of the party. During the gift exchange he showed his sensitive side by dangling a gift bag from his arm and walking around to each person in the circle. Kells inspected every gift unwrapped and tried really hard to walk away with a fabulous baroque clock and plate for mommy. Afterward he played like a little gentleman with the present that Nana had won. It was a toy mini motorcycle. He only screamed once and it was for about 2 seconds after I told him no he couldn't dig in the garbage can. Then he toddled back into the circle and mingled once again. At the end of the night women were telling me how wonderful a baby he is and that he is a very lucky boy to have parents that raise him so well. It's so nice to hear that when every day all you wonder is how bad you are going to screw up this perfect little being.
