Toddling Thru: Christmas Highlights

Over the past 2 weeks, Eloise has had a lot of fun celebrating Christmas.  
Enjoy these photos from all the events!

Santa stops by Eloise's daycare every year and brings gifts for every child there.  Unfortunately, Eloise was NOT a fan of Santa.  This was the only photo we could get.  Note that Mommy is the barrier between her and Santa, Daddy is holding her and Grandma is protecting her on the other side. 
Celebrating Christmas with Grandpa Jim 
Priceless moment captured of Grandpa singing Jingle Bells with all of his granddaughters
 Grandma Sandy & Grandpa Mike joined us for a quick visit to the Festival Lights at Cosley Zoo.  Eloise tasted her 1st hot chocolate (more like luke warm chocolate) and loved it!
 Christmas Eve morning started off with Waffles & Strawberries
 We spent the day at Grandma Karen & Grandpa Kevin's house
 Eloise & Auntie Lo were checking out their selflies…as always
One of Eloise's gifts from Grandma & Grandpa was a sweet baby doll.  Grandma Karen refinished the cradle that her Grandpa made over 60 years ago so that Eloise can have a place for her dolls when she plays at Grandma's.  This cradle has been played with by at least 3 generations of little girls. 
 Auntie Lo decided to start a tradition of making a craft every year.  This year she decided that her & Eloise would make a gingerbread house.  Everyone pitched in and we had a blast!
Eloise read everyone a Christmas Story
 Christmas morning started off with Daddy's homemade pancakes.  Of course, they were a hit!
 Santa brought Eloise a piano, mailbox, and a few new books.  
No surprise that she was most interested in reading her new books.
 We spent the rest of Christmas over at Grandma Sandy's & Grandpa Mike's house.  
As always, Eloise had a blast with her cousins & grandparents.
