Isaac got a special message from Santa today. Thought we'd share it with you all. Here's the video.
Merry Christmas!

Isaac's Christmas Program
This past Friday I enjoyed Isaac's first Christmas Program since he has been attending Jefferson. I arrived a little early since I heard parking (and seating) could be tricky, so I enjoyed wandering around seeing the Christmas decor and observing the kids' hand-made decorations like this one (notice the color = green = Isaac's favorite!). 
It was nice to stop and take some time to find Isaac's creations when I could actually take them in, aside from the usual hustle and bustle of coming or going when we're dropping off or picking Isaac up. Isaac has been excited about his "program," coming home and enthusiastically practicing his songs. They are a couple of familiar tunes with different words - see if you can make them out. He didn't display the stage fright that he did last year at his Christmas Program - it was fun to see the difference 1 year can make. In fact, I'd say he was one of the more confident ones of his group.
Here's a link of some of the pictures I took along with a couple of video clips of the preschool songs. I also took some photos of the art murals that a couple of the teachers have been working on this fall.

Santa Claus, Trains & Music
This weekend we decided to take a break from our holiday to-do list and attend the Winter Depot Arts Festival at the Duluth Historic Depot. It was advertised as a free family event, with Santa Claus, hot chocolate, special vendors, and of course admittance to the train depot and children's museum.
For us, it was a "hole-in-one." In one 2-hour stop, we got to introduce Isaac to his first Santa Claus, sip on some hot chocolate while enjoying some carols sung by the Arrowhead Chorale, and of course enjoy the many train exhibits, which is always a favorite of Isaac's.
In addition to the regular train exhibits, they had a special showcase with many electric trains setup. As we were there towards the end of the day/event, there weren't many people around so I asked the engineer if Isaac could go back and see the exhibits more closely. Isaac was in train heaven!
Of course when Santa asked Isaac what we wanted for Christmas, he said trains/train set. It all came together Saturday afternoon!
