Santa

We saw Santa the other day at my mother-in-laws school. It is really nice because there are treats for the kids (and adults), Santa reads a story, calls each kid up by name and gets a gift, and there are not a lot of kids. We will miss it next year.

When Santa walked in Monique didn't know what to think and ran to Uncle Ryan!


Santa reading the kids a story.

Alex not sure of the real Santa. He has only seen him on tv and in books.

They loved the cookies. Alex sharing with Monique, what a nice big brother.


Alex was ok as long as he stood next to him.


Sitting on his lap wasn't happening!

Monique first visit with Santa. She didn't want anything to do with him!

Grandma and kids with their gifts from Santa, but I think Alex and Monique are still unsure of the whole thing.


Merry Christmas, hope it goes better next year with Santa.

We had fun looking at the lights, but had a better time playing in the leaves with Kyle and Heather!

It is snowing, leaves!


Alex loved the leaves. Every time it "snowed" on Monique she would stop and look down.

Yea Monique!

Alex really loves playing with Kyle, they act just alike! :)

Daddy making sure he got all the leaves out of Alex's back.

Kyle thought this was a better way to get all the leaves out!

Alex having fun with Kyle and Heather!


Happy Glendale Glitters!

Our Mornings

I love our mornings!
Alex wakes up and comes lays in bed with me for at least 30 minutes. I will turn the tv on and go back to sleep while he watches sesame street.

And sleeping beauty here, sleeps in and when she wakes up just plays keeping herself entertained. That's my sign to finally get out of bed!

I hope I Have Clean Floors

I don't know what it is about the floors but Monique and Cash love them!

Thursday with Cash

I watch Cash, our Godson, once a week. His mom and dad said he has been teething and not himself lately. Boy were they wrong, we had a great day! :)

Happy Birthday Ryan

Alex helping Ryan blow out his candles. I think Alex blew them out, Ryan didn't have a chance.

Alex not to sure about Ms. Clause.


Playing with Uncle Randy

Alex took him out!

They love playing with these. I think they had all of them going at one time.

Monique thinks she is taking this one home.
