Santa Party!

My father-in-law (also of crib and dresser assembly fame) is quite talented. Not only did he build the mantle on our fireplace (yay Christmas stockings!) but he also carves wooden Santas throughout the year. They are quite beautiful and unique, and the first Friday in December we get to see them at the Santa Party. Here's a tiny sampling of his work...

Hard to believe these start out as blocks of wood!

The party was lovely, though I did have to steal away for an hour or so to lay down for a nap. I'm just hoping that Charles enjoys sleeping as much as his mom does.
