The kids have been sick in the week leading up to Christmas (mostly Leo) so we've laid low over the last few days. We still managed to fit in lots of fun including a visit to the Brandywine River Museum to see the train exhibit, a drive to a local house which has a Christmas light show coordinated to music, and lots of crafts and cookie baking!
"Train, train, choo-choo!"
Maya had a blast decorating these Pinterest inspired sugar cookies!
She got a bit creative with some of them!
Santa Elf! Lots of cutting practice with this one!!
Play-doh fun!
Yes, Maya is often in dress up princess attire!
Merry Christmas Eve! We hope Santa is good to everyone tonight!
Well, we did it again. We had to go to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. It's a tradition! This year Maya was all smiles. Santa had a long talk with her. She told us Santa said he's bringing her socks! She thought that was hilarious! Leo... well he acted as any typical 1 year old would- he screamed. I finally held up this big Elmo they had and then he gave me the weird face below.. I should've just picked out the picture with him really screaming. He then bolted out of Santa's lap!
Today my mom and I took the kids to see Santa Clause, Mrs. Clause, and a real reindeer! The line was long and both kids waited so patiently for their turn! Santa actually stopped taking pictures to come over and speak with Maya specifically. He asked her all about what she wanted for Christmas and how she was behaving and about how her 3rd birthday party was. She was enthralled! Leo LOVED the reindeer. I was just thankful that he didn't abuse the reindeer. Fortunately, he pet the reindeer very nicely! This event was totally worth the wait!
