The Best Thing Ever

While three of us were enjoying a lovely pancake dinner with Santa at the elementary school, someone was going to her first middle school dance...




Apparently it was The Best Thing Ever. It was just 5th and 6th graders (thank goodness) and mostly fast songs. It was a huge improvement over the 5th grade social last year (which was "really stupid"). She is counting down the days until the next one.

Back to Pancakes with Santa... as soon as we walked into the elementary school, the parent of one of Cam's friends came up to Phil and said that they had just gotten 4 free tickets to the UNH hockey game that night and invited Phil and Cam to go with them. The same hockey game that was starting in less than an hour. After deliberating for a millisecond, the boys took them up on their offer. We stayed for pancakes and to peruse the book fair that was going on at the same time and then the boys took off with their friends. No picture with Santa this year, he came just before they were about to leave and the line was incredibly long. Oh well, we have 2 (TWO!) company parties this weekend, I'm sure we'll get a picture at some point.



After the guys left, I still had an hour before I had to pick up Steph so I went to Market Basket. Yes, that's right. While Steph was having a blast dancing with her friends and the boys were at a hockey game, I was buying paper towels. You can't imagine how difficult it is to keep up this rock star lifestyle I have...

In other news, Steph tried out for the school play (Alice in Wonderland) this week. She found out yesterday that she got a role as one of the Cheshire cats! As I understand it, the Cheshire cat is going to be a big puppet operated by 3 people - 1 is the head, 1 is the body and 1 is the tail. Each body part has their own lines. This was what she wanted to be, so she is very excited!

We've got a busy day ahead: dance class, floor hockey, the Liberty IT Christmas party and hopefully we're getting our tree. More pictures soon!
