christmas party

this year we had the opportunity to go to a children's Christmas party at the home of the US ambassador to the UK, Louis Susman and his wife! let me clarify 'home'- they live in the Winfield House, which is the second largest private garden in central London, next to Buckingham Palace! (google it, it's pretty amazing, and has a very interesting history....)
anyways, we had a fantastic evening, the house was decorated beautifully, with a couple of Christmas trees, and other decorations. there was a ton of food, and those guys who stand around with trays of drinks, super fancy. the ambassador and his wife greeted each of us personally, they were very nice and gave the boys high fives!

the boys in front of one of the trees, they were too busy looking at the ornaments to look at the camera... oh well.

this is blake standing in line to sit on santa's lap, he was SO excited, it was adorable!

blake could hardly contain his excitement, adam was more interested in the tree, but at least he didn't cry.

another beautiful tree

ambassador susman read 'twas the night before Christmas' to all the children

after the story we all sang Christmas carols.... and the boys danced! (yes, blake has his boots on, there was 3 inches of snow outside!)

our family in front of the tree... all looking at the camera.... it's a Christmas miracle! :)
