Summary of our Christmas: Fabulous! Filled with friends, family and Lightening McQueen.
Good times with Papa Dance...
Sour, yet irresistible...
We spent a couple days in Coronado with Grandma Wanda...
And met Santa!!! We had been talking about meeting Santa for a while and when he came through the door Ellery turned her head and wouldn't even look at him. Actually having this character within arms reach was just too much for her to handle. My mom and I were laughing hysterically. She said I was the same way when I was Elle's age. Beck, on the other hand, goes to anyone, including Santa,
...Mrs. Clause and Santa's helper. Kathy and I took the kids to SeaWorld and had a blast...
Our 4 inch tall snowman. We're in San Diego after all...
Amy in town!!! We loved having you here. Come back soon and get your baby fix!...
Elle's preschool was going to close for Christmas break and the director recommended that we take some pics of her classroom and playground and show them to her periodically to hopefully avoid "starting over" when it opened back up. It was a great idea and drop-off this week went well. There are still a few tears but they stop the minute I walk out the door and she is always in the best mood when I pick her up. As we walked to the car today, she told me "Elry yove preschool"...
THAT IS MILK! I have tried everything to get this girl to drink milk. Cows milk, almond milk, soy milk, chocolate milk, rice milk, you name it. Then she starts preschool and she loves it. One of the perks of peer pressure!...
The peer pressure thing is also proving effective with use of the potty!...
Cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer...
Beck's first tool belt...
Santa must have known how great these two have been because they scored big!...
Ellery's favorite gift...
And the one we thought would be her favorite, her very own Lightening McQueen car! She had the same reaction as she did with Santa. Once she saw what it was she turned her head - overwhelmed! Since then she has gotten more comfortable driving it and with a pillow tucked behind her she can reach the pedals. But you have to run along side her because this car is quick and she rarely steers. It's really quite funny. And exhausting. I had the video camera rolling, Zach had her hand so this is the only picture I have. I'll get my moms pictures and post at a later time...
*She got this car and Queen slippers from Santa, a Queen ornament and Pez dispenser from Auntie Mars, a Queen plush toy and tote from Mark and Katie and a Queen computer from Papa Dance. Am I forgetting something? Funny thing is, we don't even own this movie. We borrowed it from our neighbors just long enough for her to fall madly in love. Seriously, she even blushes when she sees Queen. KaChow!
Zach and I took the kids to SeaWorld on New Years Eve to play and watch the fireworks. We had a great time but the only bummer was the fog was so thick we saw Red Fog, oooooo Green Fog, ahhhhh and for the finale, Colorful Fog! Ellery didn't care, she just thought it was cool to see sharks in the dark...
Happy New Year!
