Christmas Day at Grammy and Papa's House

Visting Cousin Evan on Christmas Morning.

Elise and Evan had matching Christmas outfits and we had to try and get some cute pics of them together. Of course that sounds easier than it actually was. We finally did get a couple cute ones of them both looking.

Christmas Morning

Cookies for Santa and Carrots for Rudolph

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve Chris' family came over to enjoy the evening with us. Elise had a great time opening gifts and playing with Grammy and her new dollhouse. Poor Grammy left with a backache.

Check out all that snow!

Almost two feet of snow and counting. It just seemed like it was never going to stop. All of our Christmas lights have disappeared under the snow. Elise keeps looking on the window, I don't think she can believe how much snow is out there.

What we do on snow days....

We:

• play little people


• have tea parties


• watch Sesame Street


• play dress-up


• have marshmallows

Santa came for a visit on a fire engine.

The fireman in Grammy's neighborhood always come around with the old fashioned fire engine and have Santa riding in the back. It is a cute tradition. So, we all headed over to Grammy's to see Santa yet again. We dressed Elise up in all of her winter gear for the first time and let her play in all of the snow. She wobbled around and had such a great time. Elise was so excited to see Santa and she went right to him.

The Hamburg Fairgrounds Light Festival!

On Saturday we went and saw all the holiday lights at the fairgrounds, and apparently everyone else had the same idea. The line was about 1/2 hour long just to see the lights. After we went and saw all the lights, we saw Santa's reindeer, went on a train ride, a merry go round, and saw a super cute snowwoman. Elise and Evan had a blast together. As Evan says "I had a fun day!".

A Trip on The Attica Arcade Railroad

Elise, Daddy and Mommy went on a train ride to see Santa at the North Pole. Elise loved the train ride. She actually sat on Santa's lap today, so I guess the third time is the charm. What a fun day.
