matt's company put on 2 amazing christmas parties this year - one for the kids, and one for the adults!
(and i did a terrible job of documenting both.. ugh.)
the kid christmas party was held at the olivia in burbank.
it was a carnival theme, so there were cute carnival games, a magician and, of course, santa.
and there was also disgusting amounts of food.
honestly, just thinking about the wasted food makes me feel like a terrible person!
PCL always has santa hand out a gift to each of the kids at this party and, this year, the kids got to submit their top 3 gifts that they would like.
we (being the cheap, clutter-hating parents that we are) told our boys that santa would be handing out their main gift from him at the party, rather then at our house on christmas eve! haha
in our defense, they actually thought that was pretty neat.
chet and holden were willing to sit on santa's lap long enough to get their gifts, and a picture.
but tad.. didn't want much to do with santa. and that made for the perfect 'screaming on santa's lap' picture. classic.
the adult christmas party was snazzy!
like, seriously, the snazziest thing matt and i have attended. ever.
we had a blast!
the party was held at the resort at pelican beach, in newport beach.
months before it happened, we asked my mom to come hang with the boys for that night so we could turn the party into a little getaway.
and she did.
and it was dreamy!
24 whole hours with just matt and i - yay!
we did a bit of shopping, went to a movie, checked into our hotel (down the road from the crazy expensive resort that the party was at!), got all dolled up, spent the night mingling/eating/dancing/laughing with a really fun group of matt's co-workers, slept in the next morning, ate breakfast on the beach, and then headed home to our 3 little amigos.
is it weird that i am already excited for next year?!
the venue was seriously so gorgeous, but really hard to capture with my phone camera, so i only have a couple lame pictures that totally don't show off my cute new outfit and boots! haha lame.
