OCF-OCF holds their annual Holiday party at The Phoenix Club in Anaheim. Since it's a German restaurant, Craig was especially looking forward to this gathering. We were not quite sure what goes on at this function, but the girls sure knew what they were in line for - face painting, temporary spray-on tattoos, caricature of themselves, arts and crafts, etc. Alisha was quite upset when we pulled her away from the crafts table in order to get in line for food. Pasta, warm bread, salad with dressing was served. Carrot cake and ice cream with a variety of flavors were offered shortly thereafter.
Unfortunately for Alisha, she missed the entire arts and crafts session between dinner, the temporary tattoo lady trying to get her sprayers working, kids cutting in lines, desserts, family photos (we waited until the kids had greasy, tomato-stained mouth for the pictures), etc. Santa arrived with his bells just in the nick of time to divert her disappointment as she got to sit with him for photos first. As the kids waited for the elves to pass out the presents, Alisha was first in line for more hand paintings. Ashley's gift was super heavy - an art set with wooden easel while Alisha's was almost too wide for her to carry - a colossal art set with 315 pieces (colored pencils, sketching penciles, pastels, markers, erasers, paint, etc.). We opted out on petting the dogs and rabbits as Alisha does not need to get an infection.
What a lovely photo! Is it just me or Craig looks super tall on the photo? You look so short next to him, Amy! lol
ReplyDeleteHe's really tall and I'm usually in heels to mask the height difference. However, I wore tennis shoes that night and he had these Shape-Up tennis shoes from Sketchers that made him even taller. Yes, I'm short next to him!
