These last few days have been busy but fun.  On Saturday night we braved the cold and took Lex to see Zoolights.  It was freezing, but we had a good time.  Lex got to ride the train, and the rest of the night he was chanting “Choo Choo…”

We managed to convince Lex to wear his stocking cap, but he refused to put on any kind of glove or mitten.  So to prevent frostbitten hands we had to wrap him like a burrito and carry him around like a baby.  Tim and I traded off, but that boy is heavy!

Then on Sunday evening my mom’s group had a family potluck and white elephant gift exchange.

The kids just played…

Lex and his friend Colby:

Cookies!

And finally last night we had a holiday get-together with the Ramms and the Melloms over at our house.

Here’s Loretta and “Santa Christopher:”

Lex was thrilled to eat at the kids’ table with Gabby and Mia:

The kids all exchanged gifts, so here’s Lex opening one of his presents:

New cars and trucks!!!  Thanks Gabby and Mia…
