Still Catching up!

Alex's Great-Uncle David and Kristy just moved into a new house this year. Their neighborhood has a Christmas celebration with Santa, food, and carriage rides. It is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! They invited us to go with them. Santa stands on the roof(kind of the balcony) of this house and calls the kids names and throws their present down to them. All of the kids love it because there is Santa actually calling their name with a present just for them! The picture is not too good but you can kind of see Santa and all of the kids on the yard below.

He just got his present from Santa and we are about to go open it!

It was a green (kind of like a koosh) ball! He thinks it is so neat and calls it "green ball."


We met Granddan and Mimi at the mall one day to ride the train and maybe do some shopping. Mimi took him up to talk to Santa but Alex didn't much care to sit with him.

Shopping with Granddan


Our friends came over for a playdate on the 17th. Jennifer had just had a birthday so we had a little celebration for her with a pancake cake made by Ally! Happy Birthday!

Olivia, Caden, and Alex went outside to play on the porch and we opened the window so we could talk to them. This was too cute of Caden and Alex.
