Picture with Santa

This past weekend I took the boys to the Festival of Trees.  They were very excited to see the "real' Santa.  Luckily, it was the first day in weeks Jaxon decided to wear something non-super hero.  They both loved sitting on Santa's lap.  Alexander threw the poor guy for a loop when he asked if they were excited for Christmas and he replied, "No, first I am excited for Hanukkah!"  

Happy Thanksgiving

This year we had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our home.  Jason and I prepared the dinner with a lot of help from Alexander.  The food was delicious.  Alexander's favorite part of the meal was the big turkey leg.  Mema and Tio both joined us for our feast, it was great having them both with us.  Jaxon loved having his Tio read to him.  It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day.  Alexander and Jaxon both wished their Nana and Poppie could have been here too, but look forward to spending Christmas with them.

Mr. Personality

Jaxon loves dressing himself and posing for the camera.  I thought I would post some of the latest and greatest.   He loves surf shorts all year long and thinks they go nicely with his "police" shirt.  The Christmas p.j.'s pair perfectly with a green super-mask.  And yes, he did paint his own fingernails with white-out from his Mema's office.  

Alexander's self style

          


The other day Jason was shaving his beard down with the clippers.  Alexander was watching and wanted to "help".  He asked if he could turn the clippers off.  Jason agreed, handed over the clippers and turned away.  Alexander thought he would give himself a little shave before actually turning the clippers off.  He now has a really cute circle shaved in the top of his head.    

Way to go Dad, super smart move!  

Oh well, he is still the cutest 4 year old in the world.

My Little Blue Angel

While I was talking on the phone, Jaxon decided to rub an entire tub of toothpaste on his legs. He said it made them feel good and smell "nice".
The boys are always getting into something. I was just happy that Alexander was not in on this little surprise. When he saw Jaxon's legs, he wanted some too. Sorry buddy, toothpaste is for teeth. I am always afraid to ask, "What next?"

Disney On Ice

Last Friday the boys and I went to Disney on Ice. Uncle Kayvon was able to get us 6 tickets so we brought our friends the Schiffmans. Ben is Jaxon's age and Noah is Alexander's age. All the boys get along great and their mom Mo is so much fun too.
Upon arriving at the event, Jaxon fell out of the car onto his head and had a huge bump. That did not stop him from singing, dancing and clapping along to the entire show. Alexander had such a great time too. He kept yelling at the characters, "Hey, look up here! I am up here!" I really think they heard, Alexander was sure they were waving right at him.
The boys loved the show, their favorite characters were Buzz and Woody from Toy Story. Jaxon took an awesome picture of all the characters. We had a great time and can't wait to go again next year. Thanks a bunch Uncle Kayvon!

Painting by Numbers

Nana sent the boys some great paint by number kits.  They really love painting so they had to get started right away.  

Alexander started out following the numbers but then became "artistically frustrated" and needed to do his own thing.  I think it turned out rather beautiful.  Notice he even signed his name on the bottom in green.  When I asked where the "e" was in him name he said, "Mom, I used a flat E for this painting".  Can't argue with that!

Jaxon stayed more into the following the number theme.  Then he decided his body and face made for a much better canvas.   I love my little artists and they love their painting.  Thanks so much Nana we love you too!
