Mikuláš

We had another fun Mikuláš weekend in Dallas. This year it was on Saturday (Dec. 5 - when it's actually celebrated) and it worked our really well for us since we could hit another Holiday party back in Austin on Sunday afternoon. We drove up on Friday and stayed at Hanka's. Magda and Marty were having such a good time playing together all the time were were there. I'm not sure Ron was too thrilled with Marty dressing up Barbies with Magda. :-)

As expected, Simone thought that Mikuláš and his devil and angel sidekicks were pretty cool and wasn't afraid at all. She had the blast with all the kids, people and stairs (yay!) and was constantly milling around trying to get into things. Despite being quite intimidated when Mikuláš talked to her, Magda sang him Prší, Prší which we had been practicing.

On the way to the party, she said she thought that maybe the devil and angel weren't real, but rather dressed up people. And maybe Mikuláš wasn't real either, but rather Santa dressed up as Mikuláš.

On Sunday we managed to get back to go to Brian's Ho Ho Ho Holiday party. As usual it was huge. He'd built his kids a 500' zip line last Christmas which was very popular. Magda got to go three times and wished she could have gone more - and wanted me to get one for our backyard. Fat chance.
