December always seems like a busy time for the Wasses, and this year we have a lot to squeeze in before baby sister arrives. We kicked off the season with the new Nutcracker ballet and a Hannukah party with the fam. Then Mama came to Charlotte's class to make latkes for the kiddos. When the week long torrential downpour finally ended, we got our chance to go to Wildlights at the zoo. So pretty! Santa and his reindeer were even there for a visit. However, we opted to just observe other kids sitting on his lap. Maybe next year. Then it was time for our annual vodkas and latkes party- during which Charlotte spent the night with Nani and Popi. Then we built a gingerbread house, made our Christmas cookies, and re enacted the nutcracker multiple times before it was finally Christmas Eve. We had the Maloneys over for a big ham, and daddy whipped up some homemade peppermint ice cream in his new machine. We spent Christmas Day with the family- brunch, then Charlotte's first movie in the theater (Charlie Brown) and finally Chinese food. Wow! What's next after Christmas, Charlotte asks. Alas, just back to regular life, and of course waiting for baby sister to make her appearance.
