Holiday parties

As early as now, we have been receiving Christmas party invitations left and right, and everyone in the family is invited! Almost all our friends are already married and have kids so parties now are planned with kids in tow. It is harder to organize and since we live so far, every party becomes an outing for us. I pack so much stuff. I am not complaining though. The parties are so much fun and the kids get a lot of gifts so everything is worth it.
