Company Christmas Party

We had a really great time at the company Christmas party. It is a family event which is sooo nice. They had a huge dinner buffet, a kiddo buffet and a nice age appropriate toy for each child all wrapped up with their name on it. I am sure it is a ton of work pulling it all together. 

Kaity sat on Santa's lap and was very cute. Earlier in the day she told me she was going to ask Santa for a new bottle for Jackson. I was totally impressed, what a selfless big sister! Another bottle is the last thing he needs, but selfless just the same.When she actually got there she didn't say much, which makes it really easy ;)
Dinner was yummy. Jackson was a MACHINE, and ate everything he could possibly get his hands on. He insisted on using a fork which worked more like a shovel that pushed everything off his plate and onto his lap. Whatever, right? I really enjoyed my meal.
During dinner, random people were being called up to answer trivia. You got a prize no matter what so it was fun stuff.  They announced, "we are going to call someone up from the 4-9 age range." I jokingly looked over at Kaity and asked her if she knew what daddy did for a living. I was having her repeat CPA. We were saying Seeeeeeee, Peeeeeeee, A...when we heard "KAITLYN CARROLL"....... Are you kidding me??! It was so crazy!!! Out of 100+ kids, her name was called just as we were rehearsing. It was pretty funny. She was very brave and went up to the front with Markham. She won $50 bucks!! Nice, huh?
 Dessert was a hit. Ice cream bar with the works. Jacks totally took over my cone. 
 YUM!
Fun night! We really feel grateful that Markham works for such an awesome company.
