It was a grand battle between fatigue and hunger ... Gillian prevailed! She didn't fall asleep until the very last bite of food.

This weekend was the Christmas party at work. It took Sam a while to warm up - it was REALLY crowded and loud. But he did get excited about it after a while. He told Santa he wants a Batmobile, and he played some games and had some snacks.

Gillian's job was just to look cute - big success! The noise and activity didn't bother her at all. She wasn't too sure about that Santa guy holding her, but it was over before she worked up to a real cry.
