so...we tried the whole "sit on santa's lap and have your picture taken" thing...but it didn't work out so well...ralphy sat there just as content as can be, but like most two-year-olds, elli completely refused the idea...she did tell him that she would like a rubber ducky (a purple rubber ducky, to be exact...), but she gave him that message with several feet in between them...oh well...we'll try again next year! and why a rubber ducky? who knows, but that's what she tells everyone who asks what she wants santa to bring...she's asking for jelly beans and a candy cane, too....
ralphy loves the lights on the christmas tree...we position his swing so he can see the tree when he gets fussy! elli has another new friend - she dances with her, pretends to put her to sleep and puts beads around her neck...how did aunt tina know that this snowman would become a perfect christmastime companion?
we've had lots of fun in the snow! elli didn't want to leave her gloves on...until she realized that her hands really hurt without them on and she could still pick up snow with them on...
elli likes to eat the snow/ice combo...she said, "mmm...that's so dood!"
ralphy got to hang out inside...
