Dempsey Christmas

O.K. so we have not been updating you on the Dempsey household so good this month. Allot has been going on from Great Grandma's Christmas @ the Cicero fire barn, the stomach bug hitting everyone but Connor, Breakfast with Santa, Connors football banquet, Sing along @ school, School parties, riding the polar express, baking Christmas Cookies for Santa, cutting down a Christmas tree, decorating the house, welcoming our new friend Henry (our elf on the self for those of you who are not in the loop) and you know just the day to day stuff to fit in around that. This holiday was the best this year. Connor and Emma really got into it. Henry was a huge deal every morning to find him and to see if he had left anything for them and of course to check the advent calender to count down the days until Christmas and get their treat from there. The Polar Express Train was also very exciting. Connor and Emma love the movie and I think may have it memorized from start to end. They each rec'd the first gift of Christmas, a Bell from Santa and of course the Golden Ticket, that they were not about to let go of. They were afraid of getting kicked off the train. We then headed back to the station for some Hot Coco and cookies. They were also sure to put reindeer food out for Rudolf and the others and put out 4 cookies and some milk out for Santa when we got back from Uncle Kevin's and Aunt Heathers on Christmas eve. We had a wonderful Holiday season. We wish everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year.

Our Little Football Star

We also had Connor's Football Banquet on Saturday morning. It was done up very nice. All tables with cloth tablecloths, real silver and glasses and a very nice breakfast was put on @ the Central Square Middle School. Connor was very proud of his new trophy. He told his dad that his going to need a self in his room if he continues to keep getting trophies.

Santa

We went to the annual Time Warner breakfast with Santa on Saturday. Connor was all excited to see Santa and give his wish of the Ben 10 alien maker. Emma on the other hand wanted nothing to do with him this year, she was happy just standing back by mom viewing Santa from a far. Connor was nice enough to let Santa know that Emma could use a barbie or two, however he said that was all he was telling Santa because Emma should have gone up there herself. Hey you take what you can get right? lol

Magic House & Bowling

Next on our stops, the Magic House in St. Louis and the Bowling alley the day after Thanksgiving. The magic house is hands on museum for kids. Connor and Emma had a ball. Connor loved the water works station and the car garage where you could take apart and reassemble a vehicle. Emma's favorite was the Pizza shop and the art center. They all enjoyed Mom's and April's hair at the static electricity ball, Connor tried but just not enough hair there. Then off to a day of bowling with Uncle Ian (mart), Jen, April, Brandon, Noel, Myself, Connor and Emma. Love the pose Uncle Ian:-). To answer the Uncle Ian, Emma about half way through the trip decided to start calling Mart; Uncle Ian (from the chipmunk movie) why you ask, who knows that is just Emmi. A jokester just like her dad.
