Cuneo Lights!

Let's hope this isn't the last year they do the Cuneo Christmas lights. We all look forward to it every year!

Sledding!

Please excuse the beer truck in the background. We weren't technically at a sledding hill, but rather the little hill by the back of the grocery store! Not exactly a kodak moment background, but it worked great for sledding!





Gingerbread houses, cookies, sweets!

Decorating the Christmas gingerbread house



Baking and deorating sugar cookies!







Christmas Cocktails and Small Plates

We had an adult Christmas party at our house this year. I took a few pictures before people came, but then put down my camera and forgot to take any! Oops!

Reilly Christmas Party

We were very generously invited to the Reilly's children's christmas party at Indian Hill club. It was insanely impressive on so many levels. The pictures are crappy at best and just don't do the event justice. It was wonderful to see my mom's friends' children and grandchildren. These are kids that we all grew up with and now they are having babies


Each table had a custom gingerbread house for each grandmother, complete with their grandma name.

 There was a pretty impressive balloon man















and face-painters


 Santa was there in his sleigh handing out presents
 There was a sit-down multi-course feast for children and adults alike.

It was amazing and so much fun.



There were even herds of giant balloon reindeer that the children loved






My kids were so taken with these balloon reindeer that they played with them all the next day and even slept with them.
