Christmas Tree Transport and Trimming

My Bologna has been retired from his annual job pulling the Christmas tree home on a sled (you did a great job all those years, My Bologna!). Dexter has taken over the duties using the little red wagon.

My Bologna still partakes in the trimming of the tree in his role as Supervisor.








Dex very intentionally chose a scraggly tree that was all by itself - he insisted on bringing that tree home so it wouldn't be lonely. We made him look beautiful.

Birthday Builders

Dex had a blast at Ian's 7th birthday! It was at the Home Depot where the staff instructed all the children on how to build a Trojan Horse bank.

Dex took the task very seriously, listening to the instructor and reading directions. "This is a hammer."

I could tell he was really concentrating when his "Gunker tongue" popped out.

 Super concentration for screwing.

 Pleased that he sees it all coming together.

Thanks for an awesome party, Ian!!!

70th Birthday Party

A friend and colleague of mine had a party to celebrate his 70th birthday party. Luckily, his grandchildren were there so Dex had some playmates.

Breakfast with Santa

Dexy's school had a "Breakfast with Santa" fundraiser where Dex got to meet Santa and tell him what he wanted for Christmas.

I was hoping he would say, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth," but Dex had other ideas: some more wooden curved tracks for his trains and a game called Domino Rally.

After meeting Santa, we all enjoyed a pancake breakfast in the cafeteria.

 Dex made me proud using his utensils!

Then Dex found a couple of "life sized" Christmas decorations!
