Little People Christmas Party

Last Saturday we went to the Little People of Alberta Christmas party. It is a lot of fun. They have a raffle and a Chinese gift exchange. Santa also brings presents for the kids. The afternoon ends with a potluck dinner. It's a chance to get together with all the other little people and their families from around Alberta. Unfortunately Austin's friend Andrew couldn't be there this year as their family had a wedding that day. It was still fun though.
This is Santa with his wife and baby son. They all have achondroplasia. Cute, eh?

Preston was a little confused. He was speculating that he couldn't be the "real" Santa because he's short.

J.J. (the guy beside Austin) who is on the ALPA executive called our place about a month ago, requesting that Austin announce the raffle winners. That's him drawing out a winner. He did a pretty good job, had a nice loud voice and a few funny jokes. His biggest problem was that if people laughed at a joke once, he used it again and again. (I wonder who he inherited that from).

My volleyball team is SUPER AMAZING we placed first in our league. We finished in the top three in all our tournaments (would have been the top two except for a very awful semi-final game against D.A Ferguson.) If you
