We spent Christmas Eve with our friends Dr. Greg, Luz, Nicholas, and Isabella and Matt and Alexandra. Everyone had a fabulous time and ate lots and lots of yummy food.
Here is a photo of my friend Nicholas wearing my santa hat:
Mom wanted me to be sure to tell everyone THANKS for all of the beautiful holiday cards we received. Mom did not get around to sending cards this year...something she is very sorry to admit. Try not to give her a real hard time about it, she promises that she will make extra nice ones next year.
Mom's friend Dan met us at a local nursery to take some holiday photos of our family.
The nursery has multiple displays arranged at Christmas time for families to pose for holiday photos.
We got there a bit early so once Dan arrived I was in full swing and did not want to sit nicely for photos.
The lighting in some places was not as Dan would've liked, and when you add that to my 2 year old busy body self...was not such a great combination and made for some really blurry photos.
Thankfully Dan was able to take a lot of photos...so we got a couple that were print worthy.
Here I am with Santa (again). This time I was a little overwhelmed and I didn't manage to say much of anything to him (must have been all that waiting and anticipation...plus I wasn't feeling so great). Santa rode the train back with us and he gave me a candy cane!
Grandma Joy and Grandpa John have a really cool John Deere tractor that is just my size. It took me awhile to figure it out, especially the steering part. Thankfully it doesn't go very far when you take your foot off of the gas.
Here are some photos of me and my cousins in Wisconsin.
My cousin John is 4 and my cousin Paige is just 8 weeks old. John taught me all kinds of cool things. He showed me how to operate Grandma Joy's antique sewing machine. He shared his GeoTrax trains and his toy gun with me and I shared me computer with him. We shared marshmallows too!
I taught him how to make a good ham face!
We had lots of fun and I already miss him a lot.
My cousin Paige isn't big enough to play yet. I got angry when Mommy held her and I told Mommy: "Put her down here" - and then I pointed to the floor. I was okay after awhile though.
I can't wait to go back to Wisconsin to see them again!
