Hey everyone!  The tree is up in our house, so that must mean
Christmas is getting close.  Zoe & I love to pose for pictures.
We have our moments battling over TV rights (Saved By The
Bell vs. Thomas The Train) but Zoe and I are great friends.
Here we our with our friendly Mission Viejo
Mall Santa, chatting up potential gift ideas.
My friend Josh is nutty like us.  And nothing
says Christmas like Halloween costumes.
Here I am with Joshie at the Pancake House.  Apparently, this
is the new "smile" I've chose to represent my mid 2's.  Nice.
Hey, it's Josh again.  This time, were at the Irvine Regional
Park, getting fired up for the annual Christmas Train ride.
Now that I'm getting a bit older--we actually have Christmas
pageants at school.  I'm hidden behind that woman's camera.
Davey O & Erin had a very nice Christmas
party--even Santa Bruno showed up for a bit.
Since we were going to San Francisco on Christmas Eve, Santa
sent some elves to deliver our bigger gifts early this year.
My obsession with all things Thomas Train has
spilled over into accessories.  Cool sheets!!
Al makes a fish face, while I play a poor-man's hide-n-seek.
Al and I are good buddies because he plays just like a kid.
As soon as we got to San Francisco, we set up
a cute little Christmas tree in our room.
Once again, it was a never ending supply of
assorted Thomas items.  Bless that old guy.
On Christmas morning we woke up to discover that Santa
had found us all the way in San Francisco.  How did he get in?
On Christmas night, we had a very nice dinner at our hotel
with Cookie and Big Al--the Pan Pacific near Union Square.
Zoe and I did well for about 1 hour and then all hell broke
loose.  Dad finally broke down and took us upstairs to chill.
On Christmas, we all woke up and went to see
a 3-D Imax version of "The Polar Express".
On the way back, we stopped off at the St. Francis for some
fine refreshments and cookies.  I had a nice warm milky.
I got to ride in a cab without a car seat for the first time.  I
really liked the "Buuuuuuumpy" streets of San Francisco.
Here we are in Columbus Park in the Italian
North Beach area.  Coit Tower in the background.
That's it for another
outstanding Christmas
season. Hope you had a
great 2004 and I'll see
you again in 2005.  
Let's do this!!!
