Work Family Christmas Party

This last weekend was the work children's Christmas party. Since I only have an 8 month old son, this was my first year going to the children's party, but I was really impressed with the whole thing. The party was at the science center in town, and was a great hit with the kids. There were a ton of things to see and do, and Santa had some great presents for all 150 kids that were there. My son, Jaxon, got a great learning toy to play with... one of the ones that you press the buttons and things pop up, and then you push them back down... you know a typical 8 month old toy. But there were other toys for the older kids that I was kind of jealous of. There were some kids with Spiderman Monopoly games, Clue DVD games, iCats / iDogs, keyboards, and other toys like that. D was there too. He and his family came over to my house for breakfast before the party. D's older kids got some great presents too, and they are only 3-5 years old. His boy got a 22 piece Home Depot toy tool set, and his 5 year old daughter got a play veterinarian kit with a dog carrier, and nursing toys, and a stuffed animal. I think next year I'll register myself as a 15 year old boy and see what kind of great toy I get. The science center is always a fun place to visit. They had some great displays and learning things to see. They also had some movies playing in their giant dome theater, so we saw the Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia movie. It was a pretty good show.

All in all the party was a great time.
