Christmas Party

The science museum the boys and I go to had a Christmas party for the kids with different activities for the kids to do.  Santa was there for the kids to take pictures with and get a candycane.  We asked Kyler if he wanted to see Santa, but he said no.  Although he was very interested in Santa.  There were some chairs to sit in to watch all the kids sit on Santa's lap, so Kyler went and sat in the chairs all by himself and watched Santa.  He was trying to figure out this whole Santa thing.  He never warmed up to the idea so we didn't wait in the HUGE line, but he did seem more excited about Santa afterwards.  He now thinks Santa is just at the museum!

Decorating gingerbread cookies

Damon spent much more time eating the frosting rather than spreading the frosting on the cookie, but I guess it's all for eating anyway!


As you can see Damon picked blue frosting.

I'm pretty sure that mouth is not getting any smaller!

I did not tell my children to show me their chewed cookies, but I guess that is what you do with gingerbread cookies.

They had a slideshow with movie clips of Christmas songs for the kids to dance to, and the boys were very unsure at first.  Eventually, Damon warmed up and would walk up to other kids, stare at them, start dancing, and then would wait for them to start dancing with him.  I guess he was trying to show them what they were supposed to be doing too!

Kyler and Damon finally understand how to tell other people how old they are.  Damon has to hold of fingers on both hands.  Kyler is just slightly confused about how old Daddy is in this video.  He still gets confused between "how  old are you ?" and "what is your name?"
