Last week we hosted two Christmas parties at our house and attended one more. It all started on Thursday where I hosted about 26 of my co-workers. The party started at 1:00 p.m. and the last of the group left around 10:00 p.m. Next up was Todd's firm's party on Saturday night. This was a sit down dinner with turkey and all the fixings. Todd also prepared smoked goose which was a hit. Then on Sunday we took the kids to my company children's party. There was face painting, food, dancing heads, ice skating, bouncy castles and even a gift for Emily and Liam. We topped off that evening at the Calgary Hitmen game. It was the annual teddy bear toss where as soon as the Hitmen scored their first goal, thousands of teddy bears were tossed onto the ice. I think the estimate was around 25,000 bears that went to kids at hospitals and other charitable organizations. We all really enjoyed the parties and the 'toss' but were exhausted!
