Pre-Christmas

 A few weeks before Christmas, Rudy and I went out to look at Christmas decorations. We visited a local house that always has a big display.


Rudy pretending he doesn't like the lights.




Then we went to Smithville and looked at the lights on the lake.





While there Rudy got placed in the stocks. I think his crime might have been bubble blowing.




The talking tree wasn't working but he went over to look at it and actually posed for a picture!


 We were very late getting our tree this year. But the weather was just a little cold the day we got it which was the most Christmas-like it's felt.

Pretending to be Santa.

This is the first time we've had to put the tree on the roof. I don't know if this tree was that much bigger or my new car's trunk is that much smaller, but it survived the ride home.


I didn't get any tree decorating pictures but Rudy's friend, Jaedyn came over to help us (seemed fitting since Rudy helped decorate his tree!)

Rudy's Birthday Part 2

Today we spent the day celebrating Rudy's birthday by taking him and a friend to The Fun-Plex in Mount Laurel. It's an inside arcade and amusement center.

They had a lot of fun in the Foam Frenzy, where they apparently had foam battles with each other and other people.




Rudy went on several rides.

They did the bumper cars several times. The first time together because there weren't enough cars. Subsequent times they went separately (including several times when they were the only two).




They also played arcade games and redeemed their tickets for prizes.

Then we went to SmashBurger for dinner. These two are crazy together.
