Scenes from Christmas - Part 1

Despite already being on vacation for the first of two weeks this month, I've barely had time to sit down at a computer.  So I decided to take a moment to post some pictures and video from before, during, and after Christmas.  I have saved up quite a bit so I'll split it up into different posts.  (Also it is getting late tonight)

A couple of weeks ago, Alex's school held their annual Christmas pageant.  Alex's preschool class sang "Jingle Bell Rock" and "I Have a Little Dreidel" (the dreidel song). 

Here is Alex's preschool class and the other preschool class at his school, on stage together.  Alex is second from right in the red plaid shirt.

The quality is not fantastic, but I managed to capture a snippet of the performance


 

The children were treated to a surprise visit from Santa Claus after the show.  Alex got to sit on the big guy's lap and tell him what he wanted (a take-apart toy Jeep) - and sure enough, he was a good boy and Santa brought him one!



Speaking of school, just before Christmas we finally got Alex's school pictures back from early this Fall.  Here are a couple of cute ones

Wow Dan - Alex looks so much like your cousin Michael at 3-1/2 years old! Alex is soooo cute - thanks for the updates!

ahhh gosh, that is so sweet. I agree with Aunti Kimmers, Alex looks so much like young Michael.
I swear that autumn leaves picture of Alex was taken at Laurelhurst Park here in Portland....did he visit and not say hi?

Did you send an Alex school photo to the grandma's and grandpa's?
