Christmas Parties

It's that time of the year and things are getting busy but we made sure to hit up a couple Christmas parties this weekend.  First we went to one with our friends which is always fun and quite comical.  Lucas seemed to enjoy attending for the first time but surely was getting tired since this was past his bed time but he managed to stay up for most of the crazy gift exchange! I will say they he really liked Joe's Christmas tree which you can see in the background of the photos and not to mention his new reindeer PJ's that Tia Marla got him!

In addition to our friend's Christmas party we also attended the UPS for Downs Christmas Party and it was so great to see old friends as well as make new ones.  It was so great to see so many families celebrate this time of the year, as well as celebrate those who have been genetically enhanced with one extra chromosome! While we are advocates for inclusion in every way it really fills my heart to go to these types of events and be surrounded by love, joy and support with others who understand the journey and embrace every moment of it.  I got the joy of walking on stage with Lucas to get a gift from Santa and Mrs. Claus when they called his name while daddy got to be the photographer!
