Rivemen Christmas Party

Tonight was the Rivermen Christmas party. I took both boys by myself....it went as good as can be expected :) We sat with Davis Payne and his family. He is the Rivermen head coach and he also went to MTU. It was fun; always good stories when you have Tech in common! Justin does not always do too well with sitting still for a more formal dinner, but he was not too bad! He started to get out of hand so we went to the bathroom to "talk" and when we came out and were walking back from the bathroom, Santa came through the front door - he totally reinforced the "Santa's watching" warning! Thanks Santa!!!

I love the pics of the boys with Santa! When she had the microphone and Santa asked what he wants he was very sure that he wanted and air hockey table. Most of the other kids were shy and quiet, but not him :) Then the last couple pictures just amazed me. In an attempt to keep him entertained until dinner (we were almost the last table to go up to the buffet), Coach Payne's wife asked him what he wanted from Santa. He said air hockey of course and she asked him if he can draw it....and the picture is below. I could not believe it! I was so proud!! Then she asked if he saw his name on our table tent - of course he did; that's too easy! I told him to see if he could write his name and he did SO GOOD! He makes me such a happy mommy :) Ms. Ericka & Ms. Stephy have them practice writing their names every day and it's paying off! He also likes doing it on the dry erase board at night.


Enjoy the pics!
