Visit to the North Pole

Yesterday, we went to see Santa and the light at Riverwood , it was fun and Alex saw the coolest thing, fire. The kid love fire! The lights are really pretty there even in the cold, I enjoyed looking at them and taking some pictures.

 Look at those happy faces staring at the fire!

 The whole gang...A lady was really nice and offer to take our picture ( apparently, my camera is what she wanted instead of hers). Alex and Genne had a great time playing around with her son!

The reason why I should not be holding Alex...He is getting WAYYYY to big for me!

Alex in Santa's chair while we were waitting for...BTW, WE WERE THE FIRST ONES TO SEE HIM, BWA HA HA HA...Glad we did not have to stay in the cold for too long.

 Genne in the big chair

 When Santa got there, Alex was a bit nervous and was holding ready tight to me, I thought he wasn't going to go for it but as soon as Santa call him, he run and gave him a hug and run back to me, ha ha ha! I guess Genne figure that this big guy was ok after all since Alex hugged him, and run to him and also gave him a hug...It was so cute and Santa was so nice

 yep, Genne was wearing a bow on her hat!

 See HAPPY

 Love when Alex laugh so hard!!!

Hope you guys are having a great holiday and making great memories!!!

Christmas Tea Party

On Monday, we had a Christmas tea party for Princess Genevieve while Alex was in school with some of her friends. They had a great time and Genne was walking around tickling all the girls and it was fun watching them giggles while "tickle monster" Genne chased them around the house. Our little "tea table" broke so we use our kitchen table...I am really glad I got to do this for her even if she won't remember or care ( I have pictures to prove it, one day when she complains about me not doing anything for her, ha ha ha).

As always expect LOT of pictures!

Dancing Queen

SOOO....

Alex is writing stuff now...Kind of weird since he is still not really making any conversation...He wrote " Nick" this morning and can also write his name.

Keeping Them Entertain Inside

We got Alex this Cookie Monster Play-doy for his birthday and we have gotten some pretty good use out of it. The kids love when they get to play with ( not very often because they make a big mess and Genne finally not eating them anymore). They love to make food with the help of mommy and feed it to cookie monster and Alex like to make letters so he can write out Sega and Sonic or his own name which he can do ALL BY HIMSELF.

How do you guys keep you kids entertain in the Winter??? Need more ideas.
