Alex's first picture with Santa

Yesterday we went to My Party Palace's 6th annual toy drive.  It had Santa, princesses, cookies and cupcakes.  We met a few friends there and had a blast!  Alex actually even took a picture with Santa!!  No tears at all!!

After the party, Kate was super excited to go home and put up the Christmas decorations!!  Mike is still in Europe and I didn't think I would be able to put the tree up by myself--but I did it!  It was sad decorating the tree without Mike, but the kids loved it!
