Christmas Day 09

Christmas Eve 2009

Eleanor was ready to get down to business early on in the night.

Eleanor made sure her new baby was well fed. I think she was so tired during "present opening time," that she fed her baby over and over just to stay awake.

Ooooh a new tea set. Mommy and Daddy can't wait for all the tea we'll be consuming in the next few days...months...years.

Let's just say this kitchen was a labor of love. Poor Joe.

Christmas Day

Elle gave each present the taste test. Fortunately they all passed.

Yes, this DVD will do just fine. It tastes great!

Christmas Eve

Eleanor was a very lucky girl this Christmas. She received so many fun toys, books, and adorable clothes from her relatives who love her very much. Thank you. Joe and I appreciate everything so much and send our best wishes too all of you that we could not celebrate with this holiday.

Happy Holidays

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

We had our first real snow last night. It's not much, but just enough to cover the ground and make it pretty and white outside. I don't think Joe appreciated it very much though. He left for the train in Naperville around 7:00 am this morning and around 8:18 am he emailed me from his phone and said he was still stuck in traffic. First snow + first day back from vacation = awful traffic.


Saturday we dug out all the Christmas decorations. We had to add a few more this year for Elle. Above his her new stocking, waiting for Santa to fill it up with goodies.

The tree is up, stockings hung, and a few presents wrapped.
