Santa Noah Came to Visit

 The hat, the snow boots, the sack, the ho-ho-ho. Who could it be?

 Santa Noah!

 Loading his sleigh.

Off to deliver gifts to all the good little boys and girls.

Triple Train Fun

Triple because we had three three year olds!

 Navi, Ada, and Quique joined us for a Christmas trip to the Tilden Steam Trains.

 Ada's hair is curlier every time we see her!

 Navi and Enrique have the same look on their faces...no doubt they're related. Ada is pouting because she got in trouble.

Scary kid faces. Ready? Go!

 Noah

 Navi

 Ada

 The best we could get of the three of them with the train engine.

Preschool Holiday Party

Ok, really it was just holiday madness!

Nativity Shenanigans

Noah added a farmer to the nativity. Someone needs to look after the animals.

There is now a police man standing guard in front of both nativity sets. He's there to keep the tax collectors away.

Feller Buncher

Noah's a Feller Buncher. Don't know what that is? Is a logging truck that fells trees and bunches them together. Good name, right?

Christmas Caroling

Here's Noah singing some Christmas songs.

You can thank the kids at preschool for this one...

Christmas is Coming!

 Remember that part when the giant alligator came to Bethlehem...

 and tried to eat Baby Jesus? No? Me neither, actually.

 The Santa hat has made its appearance again.

 The tree cookies are around the tree.

 The ornaments are on.

 So we have this silly tradition of not unwrapping our tree on the tree lot. We pick a tree based on the trunk, overall straightness, and the look of the top. This year, we ended up with a ridiculously full Noble Fir with a large hole in the side that we just turned toward the wall.

 The stockings are hung from the stairs because the cat swats them if they hang from the fireplace and we're afraid the metal stocking hooks will fall on her head.

 Daddy tickles!!!

 Too much fun!

All ready for Santa now.
