Leavenworth

This past weekend we made out annual trip to Leavenworth for the Lighting Festival. There was no snow on the ground when we got there but boy was it cold! As always, we had a blast. It is so fun to now have a little on to take over there and just see the joy on his face. The lighting was beautiful as always and Elliott loved all the lights. About 10 minutes after the lighting, it started to snow. We headed back to our room to warm up a little and then decided to head back out to let Elliott play in the snow. He had so much fun, all he wanted to do was build a tow man as he calls them so we did and actually pulled it back to our room in his sled so he could have it for the next day. Sunday when we woke up it had snowed more and we were able to stick around town for awhile and play. the wind had picked up so it was even colder but still worth it to see the joy on a 2 1/2 year old face just having the time of his life. Here are a few pictures to recap our weekend.

He turned to Wes and I and said look at music note at the top of the building.



The tow man that was brought back to the room buy Elliott pulling him in his sled.

This is what we woke up to on Sunday morning.

All he really wanted to do was shovel snow!



This is always our favorite stop before heading out of town. The Breger man House (Gingerbread House)

A visit with Santa

The weekend after Thanksgiving we took Elliott to visit Santa. He was very excited and there was no wait. We kept asking him what he wanted to ask Santa for and he told us Trains, train Tracks and a Ball. The ball has to be Orange apparently and baby wants a lello (yellow) one. So he got up there and did the picture thing and then Santa asked him what he wanted and he looked at me and said "Mommy tell" That is what we do now when we do not want to talk to someone or answer someone. He loves Santa and can not wait until Christmas. Here are a few pictures.
