Merry Christmas ...

from our crazy family to yours.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

So it wasn't Rudolph, but there were two reindeer at Swanson's Nursery where we met Evan, Charlotte and their mom's for a play date. 

This guy explained that every kid gets one raisin to feed to a reindeer and only one because they are like candy to the reindeer's, and who can eat a bunch of candy?!

It's a really bad picture, but after Z attempted to eat the raisin herself, I was shocked in how well she held her hand out flat with the raisin in it so the reindeer could eat it off her hand. 

Then it was time to feed the camel some bread, which made me nervous because they have some serious teeth. It didn't phase Z one bit. The child has no fear. 

This will probably be the closest Z come's to going sledding this year so she took full advantage of it and pretended to be speeding down a mountain.

The big sleigh was obviously for Santa and picture taking. Great pose but still can't get her to smile for the camera.

I got crafty this year with Z and sent grandparents these fun little turkey cards.

Even though we did not have our traditional Thanksgiving in Michigan, we still had a very fun and slammed packed Thanksgiving with friends that we consider family.

Z of course had to spend the first half of the day in her Lions outfit to help her Dada cheer them on.

Then after her nap she changed into her Thanksgiving outfit.

There was a fun game of Sorry being played while waiting on the food to be cooked. 

Z helped Rita out.

Z spent most of the day loving on her favorite person, Rita.

While I spent most of the day shoveling food in my mouth. Well as much as my stomach, that has no room, would hold.

Of course there was T.V. watching, video game playing, food coma napping

and Thanksgiving selfies.

Z got a wonderful surprise Thanksgiving night. Grandma came to visit! The next day, it snowed, which did not impress Z at all.
