Good Times

Last Saturday we had an awesome time at Tyler's 3rd birthday party. Not only was it a pajama party, but there were loads of delicious breakfast foods AND cake. A dream come true and really a brilliant idea for a party. Matt came back to his plate repeatedly and continued to graze the entire time. That's really his preferred way to eat a meal--to know that that plate will stay there all loaded up with food when he wants it.And then I had to include this because it is one of the funniest pictures of Ava--she kept charging at the balloons with one arm out and head down. It was awesomely funny. The pigtails and the Lightning McQueen jammies just top it off. I think Tyler had a great birthday, and we were thrilled to be there to celebrate with him!Our son continues his obsession with music. He got all our old cd cases out the other day and examined them and arranged them all. He recognizes a good many of the album covers, it's kind of weird. He's a pro at navigating through our ITunes library and completely takes over if one of us is front of the computer. Now I can really only access the computer while Matt is asleep.
As we were struggling to take our Christmas picture the other day, we ended up with this little beauty. The flash is a little hot and so are the two that are smooching, but my favorite is Matt peeping through upside down. And he did polish off that plate of cookies.
Monday night was Matt's Christmas program at preschool. Thankfully it was brief so as not to torture the children nor the audience. Matt's group was first and they performed 2 numbers, Jingle Bells and Little Drummer Boy. I don't think any of them sang--they ALL stood there and stared out at the sea of people with the exception of one little girl shouting hi to her mom and dad a dozen times. This was the best shot I could get--it's a little far away, but he still looks cute. He did a good job shaking his little bells and banging his sticks together. When he was done he found me in the audience and we watched the other kids performances. That brief stay in the pew affirmed to me that he is NOT ready to sit with me in church. Captain Wiggles.
