Face Mask

Santa must have overheard Dexter wishing out loud for a face mask on those cold winter morning walks to school. Even completely covered, the crossing guards and school aids all recognize Dexy.

The Excitement of Christmas Morning

Ben and I woke up Christmas morning to the sounds of Dexter exclaiming from the living room, "Santa came!" Sure enough, Dex had noticed the additional gifts under the tree from Santa

 and the stockings stuffed with goodies.

Even My Bologna got into the excitement of unwrapping.

The Build-Up

Dex got a phone call from Santa on Christmas Eve afternoon and he excitedly told him that he would like some wooden train tracks and the game Domino Rally (lucky for Santa, Dexter has been consistently wishing for the same things all season).

Then, after dinner and jammies, Ben and Dex read, "T'was the Night Before Christmas" and Father Christmas delivered a family game to the front door! We all played Tiddlywinks and then went to bed.

We had plenty of fun family time in the build-up to Christmas.
