We saw the jolly old fat man this morning in Princeton, while we were back doing a little shopping. Alex was very excited to see him because he wanted to tell him that he "wants thomas" for Christmas. He was also excited because he has been telling GemGem that he is not going to cry this year. The excitement was almost all for not, since the damn elves could not get the camera system to work. We waited 35 minutes until Tech Support arrived from the North Pole, not bad time considering.
Had lunch with Beeps and Grandpa at Alchemist & Barrister in Princeton before getting rained on really badly. Although, we had a little boost of energy to run to the garage because Alex picked out a six pack of cupcakes from the place next door to the restaurant. He, Gemma, and Mommy were all asleep within minutes of getting into the car...but woke up ready to decorate the tree.
