Merry Christmas!
We put up our tree this weekend! I am not completely finished with it yet. I have some ribbon to run through it and I have some other blue ornaments I'm still hunting. I will take a picture of it again when it's all done. Elijah wanted me to post what it looks like now because he was excited about having it up. I have a burgundy and gold tree that is amazing that I have collected ornaments for about 11 years for. Every year I always go back and forth about which one to put up the blue or the burgundy. Obviously I did blue this year. Next year you can see the burgundy one. I don't have as much on the blue tree yet because I have only had it for 2 years. Brian and I have a fiber optic tree on our dresser that we like to leave on at night. I would put up a tree in every room if I could. Zane is great! He doesn't mess with the ornaments. I taught to touch with his finger but not to grab and he does. 
The tree!
I have mostly blue, white and silver ornaments but there are a bunch of ornaments that Elijah has made over the years as well. I have a smaller tree on the back porch with multi-color lights(I'm putting it up today so no pic yet) on it that has a bunch of homemade ornaments, even ones that my mother hand sewed when my brothers and I were born (over 46 years ago). So I like to have both up. The more trees the merrier!!

Waiting with anticipation.......
We were fortunate enough to be on the second row at the show. I thought we were on the 6th row but they extended the stage and those seats weren't there so we were on the second row. Zane was in total shock! He never took his eyes off of them. He couldn't believe that they were actually real and only 5 feet away. It is a larger than life show. My mother went also and she loved every minute of it. Elijah was in school so he didn't go but Brian and I enjoy it just as much as Zane does. He has learned a lot from them and they are the only preschool kids group that still sing "O Holy Night" and all of the spiritual Christmas songs on their dvds. They are a talented (and wealthy,45 million last year alone) group of guys with a love for entertaining children. They are always several special needs kids at the show as well. The oldest is 55 (Purple) and the others are 48, 44, and 30.

They do a lot of cultural dancing on their DVDs and in their shows. They introduce the kids to Italian, Spanish and Greek language and dancing. This is one of Zanes favorite dances to do too.
