Who doesn't love the weekend?
I love it cause it means I get to spend some quality time with my boys.
This weekend Christian was in Arizona surprising his family with a special visit.
Friday night I went out with some of gal pals to see the Nutcracker. I haven't seen it in nearly 8 years so it was time to see it again for sure. It was a very intimate show that was wonderful. The highlight was the little mice played by little kids that put a big smile on every one's face.
A special thanks to my friend Kate for watching Berke so I could attend. Berke loved that he got to play with his friend Soren; the entire next day he talked about how much fun he had with his little buddy.

Saturday we had play date at the Museum of Science with my friend from work Liegi and her little girl, Elizabeth.
****I am going to let you all in on the BEST kept secret around: If you have children, there is a website: www.amse.org. It is a great website where you can buy a family pass for a year for $40, which includes 2 adults and all your kiddos. This pass is good in all 50 states for various museums. In MA it is good for the Museum of Science, the Children's Museum and The Museum of Natural History at Harvard. We have also used it at the Children's Museum in Utah. So basically you can attend all these museums for $40 a year for your entire family!!! HELLO!! AWESOMENESS! So far we have been to the Science Museum at least 12 times, the Children's Museum twice and a few other places as we have traveled. It is great Christmas present, not to mention it is great for winter activities.....and it pays itself off in 1 or 2 visits depending on your family size! So there you have it. If you read my blog, you now have my Christmas gift to you!
I digress.
This is Berke man listening to the sea shell; he can hear the ocean.

He is totally a little Harry Potter here, talking with this cool orange snake. He told me the snake wants to get out.
Huge light bright with his pal Elizabeth. Later that day he told me Elizabeth was a cute girl; could he have his first crush?
This fun ball drop extravaganza has always been one of Berke favorite spots at the MoS. I could watch it for hours as well, it is really cool. Not to mention the window behind offers a great view of the Charles River.
Berke had a looooong 31/2 hour nap after this outing. I had to wake him from a dead sleep at 4:30 so we could go to a Christmas Party with our friends Megan, Christopher and Q.
These two are the best of buds, they had the best time together.

We had our first visit with Santa as well. I had to do a lot of talk through with Berke about this as he was TERRIFIED when Santa walked in. He agreed to sit on his lap if I would stay by his side, if I would tell Santa what he wanted and if I gave him a cookie afterward. So he sat on Santa's lap in pure fear; he wouldn't smile at all, but he also didn't cry. Not too shabby.
This kid is set on wanting a Mickey and Minnie Mouse train and I have had ZERO luck finding any such thing. Any tips?

Glad you had a great time and that we were able to help! Soren had a blast playing with Berkeley, which made it no problem at all. They basically just laughed hysterically at the others antics for a couple hours.
