We kicked off the holiday last week by attending a Christmas Party at Frederick Meijer Gardens. If you haven't been there at Christmas, you should. Toy trains running around, Christmas trees decorated in themes by country, tropical greenhouses with lit palm trees, reindeer, Tram rides....it is really cool. Add to the list above 3 new discoveries -1. Carolers all dressed up
2. SANTA!
My little music lovers were absolutely wide-eyed and still (yes - still - as in without movement!) when we ran across the Christmas Carolers. The boys stopped in their tracks and just watched in awe. It was too cute! Then, the two men each took the top hats off their heads and gave them to the boys to wear! Alex had the Stevie Wonder head sway going to the carols, Tanner a little shoulder twist, and I was able to just sit back and enjoy it all!
Santa was a real trooper. He tolerated 80 lbs of little boys on his lap and posed sensible options for their wish list from which Tanner chose puzzles and Alex chose games. It's the first Christmas they've been able to engage in such a conversation, and again were shockingly motionless so Jim could grab several pics!
So - thank you Frederick Meijer Gardens for another visit of new discoveries, and most certainly putting us all in the Christmas spirit!

I am glad you had such a great time....We can see in their faces how much they love it..
What beautiful little men you have. Reading this post made me a bit weepy. It was all so wonderful!
It's wonderful to see what progress the boys have made. It will make a big difference in all your lives.
Now, if only we could all be together to go to the gardens . . .
That looks like so much fun! We need to take the girls to something like that to really get into the holiday spirit.
