Breakfast with Santa

Daycare hosted Breakfast with Santa this weekend.  We dressed Liz in her Christmas outfit and went to meet Santa.  As you can tell from the photo, Liz was very excited. 


Liz meets Santa

 After meeting Santa, we headed to the mall to finish Christmas shopping.  We decided on Chick-fil-a for lunch.  I mentioned to Andrew on our way in to the restaurant "wouldn't it be great if there was a cow dressed up as Santa."  We opened the door and what do we see - A cow dressed as Santa!  Again, Liz was beaming with excitement.

Much to our dismay, our little Lizzie is a thumb sucker.  Yeah - she can self sooth.  We are not looking forward to breaking the habit. 



caught in the act - sucking her thumb

 Every morning, I lay Liz down under her Jungle Gym.  She smiles and coos.  After a few minutes she is sucking her thumb half asleep and moving the toys just enough to play music.  It is very cute.  This video is my attempt to catch it in the act.  And my first attempt to post a video.  Hope it works.  **I will work on it when I get home.  It was working last night.

Lizzie's First Thanksgiving

Liz started her first holiday season by picking out the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.  

For Dad's birthday, she helped me bake pumpkin bread. 

Yummm.  Thanksgiving dinner.

The day after Thanksgiving walk.  This year we walked the Loveland Bike Trail.
