This weekend was a great one around the YoSim house. Friday evening, Eli made his stage debut, playing the part of "A Stocking" in the preschool Holiday Follies show. he could not figure out why hie was parading around in his pajamas and reindeer slippers in front of a couple hundred people, but he seemed to love every minute of it. The pics aren't very good but I'll post them as soon as I get them.

Saturday morning we went to a cookie swap at my friend Jennie's house. Jennie filled her house with neat women and their hilarious children. It was blessed chaos. Eli had a morning full of junk food and playing with someone else's toys-- bliss! I had a morning of eating junk food and knowing someone else was going to clean up-- bliss!

Later that evening, we went to the Aiken's house for another kid-friendly holiday get together. Eli apparently stood a little too close to the mistletoe because he got a big surprise hug from his new friend Lily Grace, about his age. As far as we know, this is his first romantic encounter with a member of the opposite sex. He got a huge grin on his face and high-tailed it into the other room. Okay, so he's not yet a Romeo. Eli enjoyed the spreas at the Aikens. So did his parents!
