Santa Came to Town... Once...

The Christmas season last year started with a party at KPMG. We were all (kids and parents) thrown into a not-so-big room with a couple of jumping castles, two slides, several ride-ons and two face-painters.

At first, E was rather suspicious of all the people and the noise (seriously, couldn't blame him - I thought I entered a Mad House!). Soon enough, though, he decided to try out the jumping castles... and loved them!







Just as it seemed that there was no more energy left in him, he got a second wind... and off he went riding!





And, once he mastered the skill... he decided to explore a greater territory... and made a friend too.







Exhausted as he must have been, he waited patiently for Santa to give him his present. Santa had lots of trouble pronouncing his name but E did not seem to mind ("Good" - I thought to myself - "It's just the beginning of a life-long journey on which people will have no clue how to pronounce both your names!").





Before it was time to go, we managed to get through to the face painters. Due to the limited time available, E did not become a lion... he had to satisfy himself with a spider web (???). I think he did not mind that either... he seemed entranced by the pretty face-painting lady-turned-fairy.





Then, there was a balloon elephant,



and the last shot,



and the party was over...
