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.

Up a tree with Grammy LuLew

Eliza showed Grammy her favorite climbing tree in the yard.

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%)

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.

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.

"I love my ride!"

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.

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

Grandpa & Grandma took Eliza on a little field trip to the local butterfly farm, where the people put Gatorade on her finger and let her feed the butterflies.
