New Wheels

This is the second Christmas in a row that NaNa and PopPop have given Elsinore a new car for Christmas. I can't wait to see what the future holds. Luckily it was uncharacteristically warm in Snoqualmie over the holidays, so Elsinore was able to test out her new ride in the neighborhood.

Airplane!

Elsinore loves airplanes...from identifying them by sight or sound, to playing with toys and books with airplane themes. She was a perfect passenger to and from Seattle for our Christmas trip.

new baby joggers for baby dolls

Steve and I took care of Els and Olive today. During their nap I assembled their matching Christmas presents and decided I was too excited to make them wait two more days. They experienced fun and minor injuries ramming the strollers around the house, putting babies and other toys in the stroller, as well as attempting to get in and out themselves. We'll be spending the next few days teaching them that only baby dolls go in the jogging strollers as a few too many bonks happened when they tried to put themselves in or out of the tiny strollers.

The boys were out and about, so Jana, Olive, Lynette, and Lindsey came over for an impromtu girls dinner. We had a great time - Thanks girls!

Note the lack of photos of Els or Olive sitting on Santa's lap...both girls refused!
