Can you believe the Baby Brigade now has 13 mommies and 22 kids? By this spring we will have 25 children. So what do you do when almost everyone RSVPs that they can make it to the holiday party? Rent a clubhouse!! On January 3rd the Baby Brigade had its third annual Secret Santa Exchange and the turnout was great. Our friend Beth rented her neighborhood clubhouse, there was a bouncy house, we ordered in pizza, and all the mommies brought in treats for us to eat! The kids were absolutely wild and even though it was a bit overwhelming with SO many in one space it worked out so much better than trying to cram into someone’s house. With a group so huge, it’s inevitable that someone won’t be able to make it but I’m glad that almost the entire group was in attendance and able to celebrate! I am also amazed that we got everyone {semi} cooperating for an updated group picture! It only took a little photoshopping on my end to ensure all the kids were included in the shot since we had a few runaways in between but with only two actual pictures to work with I’d say we did pretty good!

Still hard to believe that we started with only five of us. Whoever would have guessed our group would have grown to be so huge in just three years! As always, I am so thankful for these ladies, all the kiddos, and the fact that my boys get to grow up in the greatest playgroup around ;) We even popped a bottle of champagne that morning and toasted to many more celebrations in the years to come!
glad we attempted the group picture, it turned out pretty good! So thankful to be part of this group!
