Do you like JD's new look? I think the Michael Jackson jacket (yes -- he's still wearing it round the clock) goes well with the Davey Crockett hat and the snake boa. He's a stylish kid.
We at some fish while we were there.
JD got his teeth cleaned at the dentist and was THRILLED that nothing needed drilling or filling!
Dad and JD have been playing Transformers. "Autobots transform."
Today was JD's last Sunday as a Sunbeam. Next week he will move up to his new primary class. We are SO SAD to say goodbye to our wonderful teachers. They have been both kind and patient to a very wiggly little boy.
These green army men from Toy Story may not be the STARS but they were my favorites.
JD's favorites were the snacks. Enjoy that EXPENSIVE cotton candy and raspa.
The first present was a Michael Jackson Thriller jacket. You'll notice he never took it off again.
AHHHH, Santa got it right!! This is what JD REALLY wanted.
There were lots of Transformers. Good luck trying to put those together Dad.
Rocky the Robot truck was a fun toy.
Poor LuLu. She got a toy but was so confused by all the packages.
It looks like Santa ate the cookies and milk we left for him.
JD is practicing for his future career as a contortionist. PLEASE - no jokes about the box being more fun than the toys. 
JD chatted with his cousin Alexis. She is only 14 months old and didn't have too much to say. She is AWFULLY cute though.
JD got some Bakugans from Aunt Laura. YES -- I know LuLu is sniffing another dog's but in the background. Try to ignore that part of the picture.
All that present opening became quite a FIESTA!
Finally the girls lined up to take pictures . . .
. . . of this very photogenic family. 
You can't go wrong at a bazaar named after a small armored rodent.
JD tried out the hammocks. 
We got to see our favorite children's singer. All this was before the screaming, emotional breakdown on the way out -- all because I wouldn't buy him a balloon. JD warned me that I was now on the naughty list. OH WELL!! Just didn't want you all to think Christmas vacation was without any DRAMA!
The children sang for us.
Of course, JD has to put in a few dance moves with his singing.
We went to our favorite pizza place and had some lunch while we watched cartoons on the big screen.
JD tried some of the games including this little version of bowling.
Finally, it was off to the playground. WHEW -- I am tired! Too bad little boys don't get tired as quickly as moms. 
JD enjoyed some of the season's festivities at our outdoor mega mall. This laser light show was lots of fun.
Then the egg shakes and out hatches my little JD. Last week JD was always a pterodactyl when he hatched. This week he has decided that he is a T-rex.
He played egg for nearly and hour one afternoon. Hatching over and over again on the kitchen floor while I cooked dinner.
SEE -- there it is -- a SNOWFLAKE on sleeve of a black hoodie.
Some of my sillier boys tried to make snow angels. I have a great job don't I??? 
Dad and JD hung Christmas lights on our bushes. I know child labor is illegal but JD was happy to help with the task.
JD started Uncle Keith's workout as soon as he arrived. Don't hurt yourself Uncle Keith!
We treated them to a gourmet meal at Sams.
JD helped prepare Thanksgiving dinner by working on the stuffing.
Keith and Nina brought presents. YEAH!! They assembled them while we waited for the turkey to cook.
After two rounds of turkey it was time for some football. HOOK'EM HORNS!
JD does! He says T-rex is his favorite dinosaur.
JD and Dad wore their matching shirts to see the Walking With Dinosaurs show.
JD spotted the cotton candy vendors just about as soon as we walked in the door. Yummmm sugar!
The Dinosaurs were AWESOME!! They walked around and made sound and were very lifelike. The usher told us that many of the children in previous shows had been afraid of them. We had a serious talk with JD about them being just pretend. He did fine and wasn't afraid at all.
