Kids Christmas Party 2009

JT was SO EXCITED to see Santa. SO EXCITED in fact, that after Santa was finished spreading Christmas Joy to all of the boys and girls JT kept going back to talk to him. Again. And again. And again. Thanks Santa for having so much patience!
Alex was sitting as close to the front as possible and trying to read the name tags. It's a good motivation for him to practise his reading, ha ha.
Petland came to do a show and tell with the kids - it was awesome. Alex conveniently went with Aaron to get a drink when the kitty was doing the rounds but seemed to get a bit red eyed around the bunny as well.
Here are the boys with the cockatiel. I think it's a cockatiel. Not too sure, but birds do freak me out a bit. I'll change directions at the zoo if the peacock isn't showing any signs of moving far far away.

Here's a spotted gecko which brought back memories of one of the kids pinching the spotted gecko's head at JT's Petland birthday. The gecko was fine - but I was totally shocked when it happened - like speechless as in 'did that really just happen?'
Alex made friends with another one of the kids. The wee one just plopped himself down on Alex's lap and made himself at home. Alex was totally meant to be a big brother.

So cute!
And oh my I'm laughing out loud at the Petland birthday incident with the decapitated gecko!! That's hilarious...and freaky!
Don't you just love the magic of Christmas when the kids are still so enamoured.
