Gearing up for Christmas

This is the third year in a row that we have taken Vince to the Trans Siberian Orchestra!  He really loves it, and talks about it all year.  Dominic really wanted to go and we were hesitant to take a 3 year old, but he did really good.  He got a little antsy at one point, but was able to make it through the whole thing.  One thing that Dominic was nervous about was the dragon in the show.  Vince has talked about it and he knew it would be part of the show, so until that happened he was a bit on edge.  He thought the dragon was going to be real.  It is hard to explain to a 3 year old that dragons don't exist when their brains are set on it. :)  We also had the pleasure of going to the Spina Bifida Christmas party.  They do such a nice job with all of the events they put on.  It was at the same place it was at last year and Santa came again.  Santa brings a present for each child, even the ones without SB.  Dominic would not go and sit with Santa, but Vince did this year, for the first time ever, and was pretty chatty.  They both were pretty excited.  We stayed in a hotel in Grand Rapids since the two events were on two different days, so we all got to go swimming too!  I think Dominic is ready for swim lessons, he really likes the water.

 I think Dominic was more excited about the candy cane than the present
 They both got games, Vince got Guess Who, and Dominic got a sports matching game
 Vince and Santa
 So not the worlds best picture, but it will work :)

 Not sure why they posed like this, but I will take it.  Notice Dominic's shoes, he had to wear his "wedding" shoes.
 Dominic was pretty done at this point.  Vince is always ready to smile though
 The boys also decided that they had to wear their suits to the orchestra.  This was them being excited about going




We tried again, but Dominic was not feeling it this time either.
At the show!
