We headed to Grammy and Grampy's for Christmas Eve! We had a great dinner (thanks Grammy) and the girls loved playing with Lindsey, Drew, Amy, Bob and Sue! Isabelle and Ellie were excited and tracked Santa throughout the night!
Santa did indeed stop at our house! Santa left the girls a letter and reminded them to continue their good behavior! Isabelle and Ellie ripped through their presents and were shocked Santa brought them what they had been asking for including pants, pajama, books and puzzles! Ellie decided to make Christmas even more memorable by "barfing" right before Grammy, Grampy, Jen and Greg arrived (never a dull moment!). She was a trooper and didn't let go of her "puffs" or "yogurt melts" for the duration of the morning!
Ellie and her crazy hair!!!
Special thanks to Aunt Eileen for her Christmas gifts! We were fortunate to have >12 inches of snow fall after Christmas and the girls loved outfitting "Frosty" with his accessories from Aunt Eileen (a little touch of NYC!). Mary and I pulled thr girls around the house on sleds and Dad happened to dump both girls out of their sleds and into the snow!! Frosty's life was cut short as a result of 50 degree weather a few days later but we loved looking at him every night before bed time!
Ellie sleeping off her little sickness! She had her "lovies" and her "binky" - what more could a girl ask for - to keep her comfortable!
We headed to the "big city" to hang with Marc and Jill for "pizza night". Isabelle and Ellie were very excited to see the "city lights". The girls made some pizzas!! One of the hi-lights of the night was playing with "Jinx the Cat"!! Special thanks to Marc and Jill for hosting - we all had a great night out!
Isabelle and her cousin Frank just being silly while accomplishing a bed time chore! Mary and Isabelle headed up to Nana and Papa's house for the "family" Christmas party at the community center. Unfortunately George and Ellie couldn't make it as a result of Ellie being sick! Isabelle loved getting her Christmas gift from Uncle Patrick and had fun playing with her 1000 cousins!
Grammy and Isabelle spent some time making Christmas cookies! Mom and Dad were shocked how good the cookies were - for real they were yummy! Ellie and Isabelle helped Grammy and Grampy decorate for Santa by hanging ornaments and setting up the village as well. Thanks again to all our loyal blog readers and a Happy New Year from all of us! We wish you a safe, happy and healthy 2011 and we look forward to "catching up" with all of you in 2011!
