Christmas Pajama Party!
LuLew surprised everyone the evening before before Christmas with some striped holiday pajamas. They were so much fun that we had to take a group photo.
Riding her new bike through the house
She couldn't wait to ride the new tricycle LuLew got her, so Daddy made path through the house that she could navigate.
Santa visits our neighborhood!
Aided by the Maitland Fire Department, Santa cruised the neighborhood, handing out candy and doing a survey for Friday night's roof landing.
Ready for Sunday adventures
Eliza keeps trying to add "get ice cream" into our Sunday errands and shopping plans.
Getting into the holiday spirit
We went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tonight. The snow on Main Street and the festive decorations around the park - and the hot cocoa - helped get us in the holiday spirit.
Crossing people off her shopping list
Eliza went down to the dollar store to do some shopping for her family. She was allowed to pick out whatever she wanted. (Recipients on her list will be getting some interesting items this year)
Fun at the doctor's office
Eliza had her big three year check-up today with her new doctor. She was very brave when it came time for her shots and didn't even cry. At the end of the visit she said, "That was fun!"
Here's her latest stats:
Height - 39" (90%)
Weight - 33 3/4 lbs (75%)
Santa and Eliza 2010
We finally had a perfect photo this year! Last year we had three attempts at taking a photo with Santa that all ended in tears.
Meeting with Mr Claus
Eliza had a quick, last minute conference with the big guy to discuss what list she's currently on.

Eliza likes to turn on Christmas
(that's what she says when she fires-up the holiday lights each day.)
Better be good
As Eliza says, "The elf is watching me, I'd better be good!" We started the Elf On A Shelf tradition this year. Eliza knows the elf is watching her and reporting back to Santa each night.
eliza's big red birthday present
Eliza got a bunch of fun gifts from everyone (thanks!), and then she loaded them up inside the last present of the evening: her new wagon from Grandpa Rocky & Grandma Cathy. She calls it "my ride" and had so much fun playing in it that she wouldn't get out of it to go pee.
sleepy birthday girl
Eliza turned three years=old this morning, and she got to have a tiny piece of cake as part of her breakfast! She enjoyed it, even though she still wasn't totally awake.
Playing with the butterflies
Taking photos of the safari
Here's our young photographer taking photos on the safari ride at Animal Kingdom. She's snapping a photo of a giraffe in this picture. Eliza is a real natural with the camera. Gee...wonder why?!
serious little sailor
We took a bout tour of the lakes and channels in Winter Park. Eliza had a fun time, but really HATED having to wear a life jacket.
flinging the bird food
We made a quick trip to Lake Lily for the Farmer's Market this morning and Eliza took a moment to feed all the birds. They love chex.
Birthday at Buca
Eliza made a friend with Mr. Joe (who kept telling everyone we were the owners) and he made her an honorary chef.
And here's a photo of the Birthday Bunch...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Eliza ate a full plate of food and said she was thankful for many things including her family, her home and candy.
Mommy and Daddy let Eliza have Coke in a wine glass since it's a special day. She drank the whole glass before she touched her food. Then she spent the rest of dinner asking for more Coke.
Going down the ice slide...slowly
This was, by far, Eliza's favorite thing at last night's excursion to the Gaylord Palm's "Ice" attraction. She went down the ice slides (on her back) over and over again.
Getting bundled up for tonight's adventure
We're headed to get a sneak peek of the ICE and SNOW exhibit at Gaylord Palms. We've got jackets, hats and gloves. They give us parkas, too. Good thing, 'cause it's only nine degrees inside. We'll post photos later!
