Tonight we went to the MMD Support Group Christmas Party. It was a pretty big turnout – I would guess about 25 people. The party was at a home on the north shore of Jantzen Beach Island, and the Christmas Ships paraded by during the party.
Alex was pretty bored, but didn't act too bad, all considered. We went straight to the party from school (after Chess club, which he isn't too enamored with, anyway); then, the party was mostly an adult event, and there was no room in the house for the few children present to run around. On top of it all, we had already warned Alex that many people there have Myotonic Dystrophy, so they either walk with a cane, or have trouble standing or walking, and so are prone to falling when children bump into them.
We watched the Christmas ships – me and the children from the deck overlooking the water, and most of the other adults from the bay windows directly behind us (it was about 20 degrees outside).
