Being a mom of two boys, I am constantly amazed at the difference between what they find fun and what I do. Boys are so physical, it is ridiculous! Walking by these giant ornaments, the boys HAD to try and pick them up. It's not, "Oh, look at those!" it's, "I am going to carry that!". To which Lionel after a strained attempt said, "Mama, HEAVY!"

Lunch with Santa
We went to lunch with Santa today. Lionel has been a bit frightened of Santa this year, but it was a large place and the kids got a sack lunch and got to dance to a DJ, so I figured he'd be okay. He was a little nervous sitting on his lap and you'll notice that they both are devoid of emotion in their photo with him, but overall, it was fun. The boys loved the DJ and the dancing part. I saw some very original moves.....
Everett's Christmas Party at School
Wednesday was Everett's last of school before Christmas break, so they had a little sing along and the teachers put on a play. Then, the kids played outside (Everett is really into the bikes right now) and then had a pizza party. Lionel and I joined them and Lionel got to be a big kid that day. Something he rather enjoys.
Gingerbread Village
Lionel took a super short nap the other day, leaving us with way too much time on our hands in the afternoon. So we ventured out to the JW Marriot to see their famous gingerbread village. It wasn't quite what I expected, but it had a train so it occupied them for a bit. I couldn't get Lionel to look at the camera, but as long as he wasn't eating the display, I was okay with that. We walked around the grounds a bit, too, and I was reminded how fantastic winter is in AZ!
