Elise was very excited about Christmas this year, and especially excited about Santa. Wes and I didn't really talk to her much about Santa, but she sure picked up on it. She loved to go look at Santa at the mall, but she wasn't brave enough to go sit on his lap. Maybe next year.
We enjoyed talking to Elise about the meaning of Christmas this year. She learned motions to 'Away in a Manger', which was very sweet to watch. Elise has also enjoyed playing in the snow this year. We haven't had too much snow in Bloomington, but there were a few inches in Fort Wayne, so we got some good snow time.
One of our holiday traditions the last few years has been to go choose our Christmas trees with our friends Kim and Randy Arnold and their children. Elise and Rebekah are the best of friends; it is so fun to watch them play together.
Here are just a few of the pictures from the holiday. I also put links to two videos - it is a lot faster to put the videos on YouTube than on the blog. One is of Elise playing in the snow; the other is of Elise opening her big Christmas present, a play kitchen from all four of her grandparents.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
