Santa Train

It is that time of year again....THE SANTA TRAIN!!!!!
This year will go down in history as the coolest Santa trip ever for Alex! After this picture was taken Santa asked Sierra what she wanted, Ted said teething toys and Alex said dolls. Then Sierra got down and Santa turned to Alex and asked what he wanted for Christmas. Alex said "Star Wars toys in my stocking and Phantom of the Opera costumes, one of Phantom and one of Raul." Santa looked at him and smiled then he burst into song and sang the Overture of Phantom of the Opera to Alex. Alex's mouth fell open and his eyes got huge and he said "You know the songs!!!!" Santa replied "It is one of my favorites. Which character is your favorite." Alex told him Phantom and Raul because they sword fight. Then Santa started singing Music of the Night to him. Alex's smile was HUGE and even Ted was amazed. Alex got down and gave Santa a big hug and high five. While Ted was asking Santa for a iPod docking station clock radio and a present for one of his friends (I know how sweet!!) Alex whispered to me "Mommy he knows about Phantom, he knows the songs, I just know the elves can make me a costume!"

Company Christmas Party

Tonight we went to Brad's company Christmas party. Brad wore a gorgeous navy suit, it was so soft/silky you just wanted to pet him. I didn't have anything to wear so had to go and buy a new shirt, boots and jewelry (and thanks to my friend I got an AWESOME deal on it). It think we look really nice together!!!
We had so much fun at the party!!!!
