Santa's Little Helper

We had a wonderful Christmas 2007!
Sydney had a great 1st Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

New Van and 9 months

I know it's a weird post title.
So, here's my new van. I LOVE it!
Then here's a cute picture of Sydney.
She's 9 months!

Our Gingerbread House

I just had to show off our little gingerbread house that Elizabeth and I put together and decorated. Isn't it beautiful? We had so much fun!

Breakfast with Santa

We had a great time at Breakfast with Santa this year!
It's the first year with our 2 girls.
Hogle Zoo put on a really cool atmosphere. There were people coming around with fun animals for everyone to look at and touch and learn about. We got to see a ferret, a snake, a bearded dragon and an oppossom.(..not sure how to spell that)
Anyway, the breakfast was yummy and Elizabeth had a fun time. We made an ornament in the craft room that was cute.
Then after we ate, we went over to Santa and got our picture taken. The girls were so cute with him. Sydney couldn't take her eyes off him! Elizabeth asked for a My Melody doll (she's Hello Kitty's friend) and she asked for a stuffed animal toy for Sydney.
Then Mrs. Claus was having storytime. She read How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Which, by the way, is Elizabeth's FAVORITE thing right now! We watch the little cartoon movie all the time. It's very cute and I really like it a lot, too.
Not the Jim Carrey one, the real one. It's much better.
So, it was a good time and I hope you like the pics even if a few are kinda dark. :)

Little Elf

I'm so excited that this is Sydney's first Christmas. And this is her first Christmas ornament. I thought it was just perfect for her.
She loves all the lights and the Christmas tree. Everywhere we go, she loves to just stare at the decorations and take everything in.
Next Saturday is our Breakfast With Santa. We started doing the tradition 2 years ago. Now Sydney will be a part of it. For the last 2 years, we've done it at The Grand America hotel. This year I thought we'd go a little more casual and probably more our style and go to the zoo! We are members at the zoo and so I thought why not take advantage of it.
When I heard it's indoors and they have crafts for kids, I was like "Ok, that's it! We're going to the zoo!" Should be fun.

The Snowlady

This is Elizabeth's snowman that she made with Grandpa.
She's very cute and Elizabeth was very proud of her. She kept looking out the window and checking on her. It was FREEZING when we made her, but well worth the memory we now have. Can't wait to make more...and snow angels!
