December Happenings

December has been full of holiday happenings, but it seems my camera didn't make it out of the bag for  most of them, such is life!  

 The library hosted a morning with Santa activity earlier in the month.  Leah met Santa, but wasn't too interested in him, so I didn't get any pictures.  They also had other activities set up, she made reindeer food to spread on the grass for the reindeer (oatmeal and glitter), ate cookies, make a sticker gingerbread house and read books.

 Leah could listen to someone read stories forever and this lady was happy to read to her. 

 I tried to get a few pictures in front of the Christmas tree like last year, but for some reason I didn't have much luck.  I think I was in too big of a hurry.  I might just try again since our tree is still up.  

 I think this is Leah's favorite ornament on our try, it's of a cat.  Unfortunately it was also our first ornament causality, notice the broken tail.  

 We left out cookies for Santa.  I also forgot to take pictures of what Santa left, but Leah got a train set, stuffed Dumbo, monster bowling, and a few other random things.  She liked leaving the cookies out, but when it came time to "see if Santa came", she didn't want to, I think she thought he was still in our living room, ha!

 We also celebrated Christmas with my family.  We tried for some pictures with the girls in their matching shirts my mom made.  I didn't take the time to set my camera, so unfortunately all my pictures turned out blurry or off color.

We're off to celebrate our 2nd Christmas with Tim's family this weekend.  Maybe I'll do a better job of taking pictures!
