In his boots he was tall enough, but then he decided that chilling with me would be more fun.

Until I left him alone in the cart to go ask a question.

Later we walked over to see Benoit, Julia, and Louis.

The boys had an intimate dinner.

Then some play time.

Noah’s working on his graffiti tag.

We had a great time, but it got late quick.

Thanks for having us Benoit and Julia!

There are lines in the city for everything.

Things were already rolling when we got to our seats.

The star of the show.

Trust me when I tell you that every kid in this place was yelling as loud as they could.

Except this dude… Who wasn’t psyched at all and wanted to leave.

The end.

It never works.

Especially on Christmas Day!

Noah opening everything in his path.

Including a stuffed falcon…

…and his first snowboard!!

…and a horse cake that he asked Aunt Mindy for over Thanksgiving.

Friendly dogs.

Gear testing.

Later, at Uncle Wayne and Aunt Patty’s.

Back at Nana and Grampa’s house, two little monkeys jumping on the bed.

Jaycee!

Celebrating Nana Holts birthday.

Winding down.

We got there the same time as this family of ninjas (Mark, Jen, and Lou).

Veronica was slow to warm up to the party.

The boys dug into Ryan’s Lego collection.

Cookies got Veronica into it.

Right before we left, Noah smacked his forehead and cheek into a nightstand…

He recovered well. Thanks for having us Ryan and Ellen!

(note – Not my best photos, I took the seat of a proud parent for this)

First up, the lil’, lil’ ones.

Proud parents everywhere.

The second group (the 2 year olds) kind of fell apart.

Intermission. Twin violinist, the daughter’s of Ms. Shameka who works in the office.

Next up, Noah’s class.

Group song.

The girls were snowflakes.

The boys were elves.

Noah cheesing at us.

His well practiced bow.

A quick vid of the elves performance.

They closed it out with the big kids (4 year olds).

Noah was proud of himself, or maybe he was proud of the red turtleneck he had to wear. Either way, he was happy to see us.

Eric and Laura came over to help too (i.e. show us what to do).

Decorate one, eat three… surprised?

Derbs after a fight with some pasta.

Drunk snowmen.

Tis’ the season.

That was the best part of the trip. The worst part was the rain.

Then we met up with this girl…

…and Nana and Opa for a trip into the city to see Santa.

The sun was bright and the line was long..

But we made it inside right before Santa took a break.

Derbs!

This was Noah’s 4th year visiting Santa at ABC, the excitement showed on his face.

Faker.

Then, a little something for me.

This might be the year…

To make sure it was an adventure, we linked up with this girl.

The Transit Museum is great, you can pretend to drive buses…

There are scale models that let you know what it’s like to have a train coming at you…

But downstairs, you can see what it would be like to sit in the trains of yesteryear.

There is even a museum cat.

Derbils!

Pole dancers.

The best lesson, learning how to ride for free.

They asked us to make a mobile to hang in his class showing where our family comes from (dragging my partial franco-american heritage through the mud), to bring in a dish reflecting that background, and to show up for an afternoon of singing and dancing by the little dudes and dudettes.

Tseday and Sienna started things off.

Alex and Logan.

“Big Old Tree”

Making a leaf mess.

Making a game of picking up the leaf mess.

Kate and Ms. Aransas wanted in on the action.

Audience Participation.

Interpretive dancing.

Logan went for it and almost did a flip but ended up landing on his noggin. Excitement is dangerous.

Hard to really appreciate without a video though right? Well, thank Kate.
