Merry Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas! Our Christmas celebration lasted for days, as we visited with both Mommy's and Daddy's families. And of course, Santa came to our house on Christmas Eve, so we had another celebration on Christmas morning!

Ho, Ho, ... Don't Think So!

We went to a Christmas party at the South Euclid Community Center. It was really cute - they had crafts, snacks and holiday videos playing. There was even an opportunity to see Santa.

We put together Ainsley's Christmas list, waited in line, and got up to the big guy himself. But Ainsley had other ideas. She wouldn't let go of my arm, so here's our picture with Santa this year...

Luckily, Ainsley enjoyed the other activities much better.

Making art with Daddy

Creating a card with Mommy

Decorating a sugar cone tree

The finished product!

Getting Ready for Christmas

Christmas Day is almost here! A lot of fun activities went into getting ready for Christmas this year:

Ainsley made Christmas chocolate at our neighbor's house.

Painting the molds

A chocolate ornament!

We attended the Mayfield and Brush High School band winter concerts.  Here we are at Mayfield - Kitty got her own seat!

Friday, December 20 was Pajama Day at Big Girl School (a.k.a. daycare). They all got to wear jammies and watch a Christmas movie in the gym. Ainsley was super excited to wear her jammies to school.

Ainsley helped Mommy bake Christmas cookies.

And Ainsley had lots of fun playing with Clio around the Christmas tree.

Santa Land at Kraynak's

We joined Great Grandma & Grandpa Paul Shellhammer for a Christmas celebration in mid-December. Our afternoon started at Kraynak's to see their Santa Land display, then we stopped for dinner and to Great Grandma & Grandpa's house to open presents!
