Last night all the kids from Zoë on up went to a game night together, leaving Alexander and Phoebe languishing at home. They fared alright—Alexander wanted to play Switch Sports, so we did that for a while, and then we got into jammies for story time.
Andrew picked up some fuzzy pyjamas for Alexander while he was shopping a few weeks ago, so we gave them to him tonight. Phoebe was distraught because all of her Christmas-themed pyjamas were in the laundry. We finally convinced her to put on her snowmen and hot chocolate pyjamas (made of the same soft velor-type stuff that Alexander's jammies are made out of, but she wasn't quite happy about it and many tears were shed while she was getting dressed, but she agreed to pose for a picture under the tree with Alexander anyway (excuse her red, tear-stained cheeks).
In your post about your dad's Christmas memories, I noted, "In the picture for the news story... that second guy on the left - his grin is so much like Alexander's!"
ReplyDeleteI think the comment needs approval since I didn't write one in the allotted time frame for a post. Anyway, seeing Alexander's grin here made me think of that post again. :)
Oh dear. That's Chuck. Fortunately, Alexander shares only a grin with Chuck. He is MUCH more careful and cautious!
