Christmas Weekend

The Kopp family had a great christmas. Santa was very good to all of us. It was a long weekend but we only had one sleepless night due to too much cookies and candy. As i looked over the pictures i noticed that Santa should just bring Anthony a box or a bag for christmas.





Christmas morning Anthony ate breakfast at his new table.


And then he put his tool belt on and started fixing things.

Also i would like to announce that Joe and Gloria (Eric's parents) are now the proud owners of a major award!


And last but not least, Grandma and Grandpa Lazzara, who are notorious for getting big gifts......



Yes, thats right, its is a ride-on train.

Our Little Drummer Boy

Our daycare has a Christmas program and Anthony's class "played" the drums to the little drummer boy. Anthony started off great, drumming right along with the song and then the ball on the end of his drumstick flew off! He continued to drum the rest of the song, but he kept checking the new drumstick to see if the ball would come off. It was priceless!

Mall playground

Still at Woodfield, after we saw Santa we went to the mall playground. It was a Looney Tunes theme and it was huge! Anthony had a great time running around.

Seeing Santa

While waiting to see Santa, there was a Polar Express "exhibit" to keep kids entertained.

Waiting to go in the snow globe with "real" snow.

And finally Santa! Anthony was completely and totally terrified of Santa, so Mom had to be in the picture, there was no way he was going to smile but at least he stopped crying.

Arlington Heights Christmas

We were planning to go downtown Chicago on this past Friday, but it was too cold. So we went to see Santa at Woodfield Mall and then saw the Christmas lights in downtown Arlington later that night.

O' Christmas tree

The first weekend of December we went to cut down our christmas tree. We found a nice looking tree that said it was 8 ft tall. It must have been miss labeled because when we got it home we still had to cut off another foot. Finding the tree didnt take too long and Anthony had a good time until he took off his gloves and fell in the snow.




Later that night Anthony helped me put the lights on the tree.
