Maddy's FIrst Christmas Party

Today we went to the children's Christmas party for the 2 C-130 squadrons on base. We had a BLAST!! We didn't go last year because Bryan was in Germany, and Maddy was so young I didn't want to take her. It's held in the "washrack" for the C-130's, so if it's cold outside, it's cold at the party. Thankfully, they brought in some heaters (it's been down right frigid around here lately). Here are some pictures from the party:


Maddy was a little overwhelmed when we walked in the door...



We took a little family picture by the Christmas tree (with the C-130 behind us)...



Then, Maddy saw something exciting when it was time for HER picture to be taken...



Standing by the steps for the plane...



She and her friend Sophi played a little Twister...



Maddy joined in on the cake walk with the commander's daughter...



AND... she won on her first time around!!!



The cupcake was DELICIOUS!!



Then, Santa showed up, but Maddy wasn't too thrilled...



So, Mom & Dad joined in the picture in hopes of getting a smile (no such luck)...


Overall, a good time was had by all. Now, Miss Maddy is REFUSING to take a nap. Wonder what caused that... Was it the cupcake? All the excitement today? The world may never know...

Love you guys!! Hope you're having a GREAT weekend!! :)

Tell Maddy that this is the season to be jolly. I know she will do better next year. This is all so new to her.

At least she has a normal, healthy fear of strangers! That's the same face she made when I put her in the driver's seat of the fire truck, huh? Looks like ya'll had fun.
