So...
The kids Christmas party went pretty well, if a little low on attendance. Only 5 children showed up, from 2 families. I was expecting at least 10 kids. A good side effect of this is that we had 4 adults there to run the party, and 4 family adults there, so the kids had plenty of help and supervision.
We had big fat coloring books I had picked up at the dollar store (each was over a quarter inch thick), some little kits to make felt mice to slip over a pencil or candy cane and the big crowd favorite, Sculpey clay.
Thanks to the Blogicals we had the Sculpey clay, some molds and some cookie cutters. Add in some big baking sheets and a commercial oven and the kids were off to the races. The kids were so into making their little clay ornaments for the trees that they forgot to attack the cup cakes and cookies the ladies aux had whipped up for them. They all took their coloring books home with them for a rainy day, none having been used. Finally, the food drive this week has benefited from the unopened juice that I had laid in for the party.
I'll have photos when I get a chance, including me as Santa with Fiancee K.
Other news: The KofC website is nearly done. Still some bugs, and some content is missing, but the "real work" is done.
Turkey Fryer: Will get it's inaugural use this coming weekend. My friend Wayne (who I will be best man for in in June) plans to convert to Catholicism (no, his fiancee is not Catholic, either) and wants to attend Mass this weekend. So I am thinking we will have Wayne and Betty over for dinner and the Saturday Mass. I have a 5 lb turkey breast and potatoes that will all fry up real well in peanut oil. Hmmmm.
Neighbors: No movement on the house front yet. No sign of their house or their agent on the Internet.
Upcoming: Chapter Christmas party on Wednesday. More work to get that happening and hopping. The following Wednesday is the 4th degree party, then the day after is a reunion party for folks that worked on our our billing/customer care system @ PECO that was just retired. Lots of people over the years on that baby.
