Pre-Christmas Festivities

We finally got our tree set-up last week...Unfortunately with the 2 monkey twins getting into everything, we had to get out our smaller tree this year and place it in a somewhat unusual position...Don't laugh at our poor little tree; it looks HUGE from the street as we have the bottom blinds closed.

Alex had his Christmas show at pre-school a couple of weeks ago and there was definitely a lot less of the "deer in the headlights" look this year. He even took the mike this time...who knows...a future American Idol?

Alex singing "We wish you a Merry X-mas"

After the show, Alex told Santa what he wanted for Christmas...Henry the train and a garage for all his cars

The following week, we went to the Company kids Holiday party and the boys really could not wait to get home, as can be seen from their first experience with Santa

At least Alex and mom enjoyed our time ice skating...
