CHRISTMAS HAS OFFICIALLY HIT OUR HOUSE! Glitter Girl with the blue hair and cocoa lips is in high gear now! In just a few days, we're off to DISNEY!!! 

I'm not sure if he's more excited about the disc or about the case! The popping action is simply fascinating! 

Who says June Cleaver only exists in TV land? This outfit was especially chosen for cleaning the bathroom! 

Early Christmas (before we leave for Florida) has a happy Kitchen Queen enjoying her new Hello Kitty appliances! 

Just found this photo ... a Cirque-inspired performance in the upstairs bedroom! Quite a creative way to make a costume (the ribbons), don't you think? 

Just found this secret shot of Cirque! 

My favorite person in the world was here for a special family Christmas! One event of the weekend? Chuck E. Cheese, of couse. Quote of the day: "I'm not lettin' that little raptor beat me! I'm a T-Rex, dadgumit!" 

What a payoff! 

SIGH ... goodbyes don't get any easier. 

The eskimo goodbye captured by miniature paparazzi!

Fascination ... this is the fruit of his game-labor at Chuck E. Cheese.  

It was time for Breakfast With Santa ... and a wonderful concert! My little blondie sure enjoyed performing! 

It's high fashion at our house lately! It's surprising how much presence a haircut adds to a little personality. 

My little trotter came in 7th place at the "Turkey Trot" at her school! She was quite proud ... said she was runing so fast her feet were as high as her hind end! 

Auditions

It's the real deal! Today was a big audition for district band. He did well on his audition, but did not enjoy the sight reading portion. He sure impressed his mom, though!!! 

He never stops being shy! Amazingly his 10:20 audition time was delayed by 90 minutes! But he saw his friends from band last year and they had a good time talking, laughing, and just hangin' out. 

Greater New York Dental Convention

I wish I could have spent more time here ... but I was impressed by my day at the Javits Center! I really wanted to be able to do more for my job here, but, it didn't work out. I'm still trying to get over it! Can you believe I care about the dental industry?? Strange, but true. 

And it's time to celebrate a birthday in the big city (birthday boy overlooking his kingdom). 

Enjoying the awesome atmosphere of a beautiful restaurant for a birthday dinner ... were seated right by a HUGE Christmas tree. Of course, I couldn't resist taking a bunch of macro shots of the ornaments as we ate. 

LOOK AT THIS VIEW!!! 

This is the biggest wreath I've ever seen! 

These things fascinate me for some reason.
