Santa Claus is coming to town . . .

Christmas Eve, Mommy and Daddy took me to look at the lights around the neighborhood. I thought we were going trick-or-treating but Mommy said people weren't giving out candy. Afterwards, we made cookies for Santa and he only left crumbs the next morning!!!Then Mommy and Daddy let me open one xmas present from them. I got walkie talkies. "Rover, Daddy!"
I didn't want to go to bed that night; I was so excited!! I kept talking about how Santa was coming down the chimney to "see me". He must have woke me when he came by because I climbed in bed with Mommy at 3am and asked if the sun was up. My lazy parents finally got up at 6am. I was a little nervous about the new toys. I mean, they appeared out of nowhere!! It took me awhile to warm up to them and play. But I have been so busy ever since.

Who cares about Santa Claus???

Is this it??? Could this be the year that Vince actually takes a liking to Santa Claus???? Uh . . . not so much! Maybe next year . . .

As soon as Santa walked through the door at the Christmas playdate, I headed for the other room. I CAN NOT, WILL NOT, ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT sit on some strange man's lap and tell him what I want for Christmas. I happily watched my friends sit on his lap and laughed when Santa sang Christmas songs . . . but I am NOT a "Santa lap-sitter"!! (Yet.)
With much protest, I agreed to sit for a group photo with Santa but only because my friend Levi held my hand and pulled me down.
I'd much rather play with my friends than answer Santa's questions.
"Santa, I have been REALLY, REALLY good." Why does he look so shocked about that? Who's he been talking to anyway?Forget that fat man! I'm just going to wrestle with Levi.
Ok, maybe I should be nice to the guy or he's not going to bring me anything. I know! I'll give him my friend's car as a token gesture! And then maybe he will pass it on to me Christmas Eve.
Time for a serious discussion about the different definitions of "naughty" and "nice".
After much coercing from Santa, Mom (who even went so far as to bribe me with a brownie without any luck!!), the other Moms, and even some of my 3 yr old playgroup buddies, I finally stood close enough to Santa to get a picture for the annual Christmas ornament. But I am NOT getting on that jolly man's lap!!!
At last, it's over!!! Now I don't have to go near this dude again for another year.
. . . . I wonder if he is still going to bring me 5 cars and a TALL race car for Christmas?

Vince's 1st official performance (or lack thereof) . . .

Here I am leading in my class (all the while wiping snot from my runny nose!) Poor lil' sick Rudolf!! While some of my friends sing and dance, I look for Mommy and Daddy. (They were actually hiding behind other parents so that I would not see them and make a run for them. So mean!!)What's this??!!?? All of a sudden I feel the urge to join in the song and dance!
Oh, wait, now I have to play with these bells on my arm . . .
Darn these pants keep falling down!!! Upon arriving home this afternoon, I have been singing and dancing the Christmas songs nonstop that I refused to do during the program. (I prefer solo performances!!)

For a peek at this stellar performance, please click on the 'play' button below. Vince gets in on the action for about two seconds in the middle of one of the songs (right after picking his nose and before getting into a fight with the bells around his wrist).

Elton is in the House!!

I've become very attached to some glasses that I got at my friend Evan's birthday party. I feel that I am man enough to pull it off too, thank you very much!!!
Elton enjoys some oatmeal:

Holiday Season Begins!

Mommy and Daddy took me to ride the Holiday Express train. Afterward we made a Gingerbread House (or rather Daddy made a Gingerbread House and I tried to eat it!)
I helped Mommy do some decorating for Christmas. It made me kinda loopy after awhile. I started getting Halloween and Christmas mixed up together. The ornaments on the tree that Mommy gave me needed to go "trick or treating".
