Holiday Party at Babs' Office '08

Babs invited us to the kids holiday party at the Cadwalader office. Aston had a blast! They had Build-A-Bear people there so Aston chose 2 animals to build...a bear...and a horse. It was really cool to watch them stuff the bears and hand them back to the aw inspired children. They also had a magician/comedian/balloon artist who was really very entertaining for both adults and kids alike. He looked uncannily like Rodney Dangerfield. He created the funniest balloon hat for Asty...and Aston actually wore it for quite a while. The Santa face on Aston's left cheek came from the face painter...i didn't actually witness the painting going on but was told she had to act quick with Mr. A as he was not her most steady client:) We were treated to all kinds of yummy treats for lunch...but Aston's favorite was the X-Large gingerbread man he somehow weaseled for himself and held on to throughout the mush stage and until there was only a gingerbread toenail left. Jeff stayed in Babs office for most of the time playing carpet golf with Babs' putter. Aston liked spinning in Babs' office chair...he looked so funny sitting behind that huge desk...Thanks Babs! We had a great time!
