Shake your booty
You don't need music to feel the beat. Just watch his precise hip movements. He gets his dancing skills from his daddy.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day
Christmas Day at the Regnier's:
Mike and I challenged each other to make a gift that Dominic helped with for each other. The boys made this picture collage for me.

Christmas Time
Pre-Christmas:
During the week of Christmas I took vacation time and we also had my cousin, Tamara, Nick, Hanna & Oliver stay with us. Hanna and Dominic had fun playing and furthering their understanding of "sharing". Dominic loved having the kids at the house. He always wanted to know where Hanna was. I had to go back to work before they left town and every morning and when we would come home for the day...he was looking for Hanna.
Wedding Time
Mike's cousin, Jen, got married the weekend before Christmas. Dominic had the honor of being the ring bearer. At the dress rehearsal, Dominic freaked out a bit and wouldn't walk down the aisle. He just started crying and asking for me to pick him up. I was so nervous for the next day.
After the rehearsal, we tried to practice going down the aisle a few times but not too successfully. The day of the wedding we practiced in the hotel room. I ran an errand and the boys started practicing without me. At one point Dominic put the pillow on the ground and laid down to put his head on the pillow then saying "night night". Oh no, this is not nap time. Then we practiced again and Mike and I are trying to sing wedding songs and then telling him to march. He liked the marching. When the time came to put on the tux, he didn't like the shoes. Once we told him they were marching shoes he then liked them. So we ran with it. We kept talking about marching in our marching shoes down the aisle for cousin Jenny for the next 45 minutes. If he was a teenager...he would have rolled his eyes and told us "yeah, I got it"....thankfully, he's only two and still thinks what we tell him is cool.
At the wedding he did great. He walked down willingly and smiled. About half way down the aisle, he decided to throw the little pillow on the floor, like he just got a touchdown. Maybe he was copying the flower girl as she was throwing her flowers o the ground...who knows?! Someone kindly picked it up, handed it back to tim and he proceeded the rest of the way. I think both Mike and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Winter Fun
Downtown LaGrange:
We visited downtown LaGrange with our friends, the Yates. Santa arrived downtown on a firetruck and many of the shops were giving out hot chocolate, apple cider and some food. Neither kid was too interested in Santa and were fine seeing him from afar.
Dominic and Alexandra discovered what hot chocolate was that night too. I'm sure it's now both of their favorite drink!
The Yates, sin Logan. He was all wrapped up and snugly in the stroller.
