Christmas Card Photoshoot...
Today we held our annual Christmas Card photoshoot. I had high expectations and had a good talk with Alexander about him listening & cooperating. He said he was going to be a good listener.
It didn't start out so good but thankfully with a quick change of scenery he did great!
It's official - our Christmas Card photoshoot was successful & the card has been ordered!

Thanksgiving Celebrations...
This year, we went down to New Jersey to celebrate Thanksgiving with Dan's family. We headed down Thursday morning and beat all of the traffic.
Thursday, Alexander played with Michael and then we had Thanksgiving dinner. The boys played cars, soccer & tickle-monster with Mommy.
On Friday, we headed down to visit Joan (Dan's godmother) for lunch. It was nice to see her as Alexander & I haven't seen her since last Thanksgiving time.
After the visit with Joan Alexander, Michael, Daddy & uncle Matt played soccer outside. 
The boys then played a game of dominoes with Grandma & Pop-pop. Then we all got ready for dinner & bedtime! Alexander did a great job going to bed both nights - he was pretty tired!
On Saturday, we went to Anthony & Maria's for breakfast. Alexander got to play with Anthony & Michael for a bit. It was a nice visit!
We headed home that afternoon to get home before bedtime. It took us 3 hrs to drive down & 4 1/2 hours to get home...silly traffic.
Next Generation...
During our visit to NJ, we wanted to go visit with one of Dan's oldest friends, Anthony. Saturday morning, we went over to Anthony & Maria's for breakfast. It was great because John & Hua also came over. Dan, Anthony & John have been friends since kindergarten.
And while we were getting breakfast set up, Anthony's two boys & Alexander were playing together & watching Cars. Alas, the next generation:

All About Argyle...

Look at how cute the boys are in their matching argyle sweaters (completely unplanned)!

Weekly Glance...
Weekly Glance (Monday, November 15th - Sunday, November 21st, 2010)
- Had a great week at school - no timeouts, no potty accidents & good attitude
- Spent the week talking about Thanksgiving topics at school - made Turkey hands, made a class thankful-turkey, talked about Pilgrims & Indians
- Alexander said Mommy & Daddy were his two things that he was thankful for that he put on his thankful turkey on the class wall (aww)
- Bedtime has continued to be a rough standstill (can typically take 2 to 2 1/2 hours with fighting)
- Sleeping was good in the sense that he made it through the night for the majority of nights (waking around 5am but coming in with us and falling back asleep til about 6:30)
- He's done great with potty - no issues both at home & at school, even with some longer car rides
- Mommy & Alexander went to Target on Thursday after school
- Mommy & Alexander watched a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving - he loved Snoopy & Woodstock
- Daddy & Alexander went to play with cousin Michael for a bit Friday after school - Daddy watched Michael and Mommy picked up Alexander on the way home
- Had a rough Saturday morning with absolutely NO listening and a lot of talking back
- Soccer on Saturday morning - Coach Chip & Coach Priya were out, so we had Coach Jorge, Coach Tom & Coach Lindsay. Coach Jorge was really good with the kids.
- Alexander had a few moments of not listening at soccer and had to be pulled aside and spoken to for crazy running
- The bad attitude (no listening & being fresh) continued after soccer as we all went to go run errands - he was fresh & fighting in each store we went to
- Thankfully we had a low-key afternoon and he seemed to get in a much better mood
- Sunday, we went to Mimi & Papi's for the day - Alexander got to hang out with Mimi & Papi while Mommy & Daddy went to the movies
- Mimi & Alexander went to visit Auntie at work and he got his own (fake) cell phone
- Sunday afternoon was playtime - painting with Mimi, playing bowling, kitchen, then dinner & tubby
- Hopefully he starts listening otherwise the rest of 3 will be a rough few months...

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving...
Alexander & I started what I hope to be an annual tradition this year - watching a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (to be followed up with a Charlie Brown Christmas in a few weeks).
Because he was a good boy that day, I told him he could stay up later than usual to watch Charlie Brown. And I pleasantly discovered that he enjoyed the show immensely. He thought Snoopy & Woodstock were hysterical!
Days later, he's still talking about how funny Snoopy & Woodstock are with the 'bumping into each other' when they were making their own thanksgiving dinner.
