Birthday party dream come true

Max's party had two major celebrity appearances- Mr. Knick Knack and Santa.  After weeks of talking about Mr. Knick Knack and watching (and dancing along with) his videos on the ipad (which he sometimes calls "the patio") Max was elated to see him in person.  He did not take his eyes off him for one second;  he stared intently while he set-up, and mimicked his every move during the performance.  Lots of Max's friends had their guitars as well, so they all had a blast rocking right along with Mr. Knick Knack.

Santa (aka: Uncle Jordan) made his third annual appearance at Max's party, and for the third year, Max wanted nothing to do with him.  Cecelia knew it was Uncle Jordan, and she may or may not have told Max.  "I want Uncle to take his beard off,"  and "I can't see his shirt", Max complained, but Uncle or not, Max would not go near Santa.  He has been pretty adamant about not like Santa's beard for the past few weeks, but he is also very adamant that he wants Santa to bring him a bicycle. 


Max and his musical idol










Mr. Knick Knack tried to unite Max and Santa.  It did not work, but Max sure nailed Knick Knack's face in this photo.

Pa was the hero of the day and stayed home with Kira during the party.  She is feeling better, but needed to stay awake from kiddo germs.

Max simply could not squeeze his feet into his sneakers for one more second.  Good thing the mall has early morning holiday hours.  Max selected these blue shoes because, "they are my favorite ones," and we were out of their before 10am.  Max was five hours into his day by that point...

5am...again
