Fa la la

15 days till the big guy leaves a boatload of toys for Jake-man. Today we got our tree and Jake got to see Santa not once but twice. He went to the movies with MiMi this morning and Santa was there. We then trecked to get our tree. We picked out a great one and Jake said "nope" .. we proceeded to look for more and the next two he said "nope" We then went around in a circle and made a big deal over the first one that we liked but he didn't..he didnt realize it was the first one and said "yes" to it. Ahh..the joys of trickery. Jake helped put the tree on the car and off we went home to decorate it. Not before another trip to see Santa though. The YMcA had him visit and we got some pics. He asked for Power Rangers. WE have no idea why he keeps saying he wants them...he doesn't even watch the show.

Alex is done with school. Done. No more studetn teeaching, no more classes. No more ! Well..not for high school..but if he wants to be middle school certified, he will take a few more classes. I am elated for him and can't wait for his certification to come in. I, on the other hand, am done for another week at least. So.over.it. So so so!

Our tree looks beautiful..it so fun to go through all the old ornaments and think about the memories attached to each of them. Tonight Jake pulled out his first Christmas picture with Santa..he pointed out that it was daddy dressed as Santa and not the real guy. We told him that Daddy was asked by Santa to dress up and visit with children..he told us he knew it was Daddy because "he has a big nose, and i saw it in the picture". Can't fool that kid all the time! ;)

We can't wait to celebrate the holiday season with lots of friends and family!!
