Busy month

The kids starting playing microbasketball this month.  Like soccer, it's hilarious to watch.  They love it, though.






We saw a couple of toy train displays. Ben has decided that he loves trains!  We sat and watched the trains for over 30 minutes.  He also changed his mind about what to ask Santa for for Christmas--it went from trucks to trains.


Nikki like the trains, too, but she lost interest after a couple of minutes.




We put up the Christmas tree and decorated it.




The kids had a Christmas program at school.  Nikki and Ben are all the way over on the right side.  We were late getting there, so I didn't get a very good seat.  They did much better this year than last year.  They didn't cry at all, and they even participated in the singing and hand motions.





We went to an amusement park called Sesame Place.  It was way overcrowded and pretty cold, but we had a lot of fun.


Outside of Sesame Place


We saw a show


We rode on the carousel


We met Cookie Clause 


We met Telly


We had a great time



We went and saw the real Santa Clause, too.  He was at the mall, where we also discovered escalators.  We rode up and down the escalators at Macy's at least 8 times.




There is a kids play area right outside of Macy's. 


Mr. Elf also started spending his days watching Ben and Nikki.  He reports back to Santa every night and is in a different location in the living room every morning.  The first thing the kids do when they wake up is look for Mr. Elf.  He even watches them at Gram's house!

I want to meet cookie claus! Looks like a fun month. Dexter loves trains also. They have a good sized train setup at our science center and Dexter played with the trains for about an hour today until I pried him out of there!
