Little Drummer Girl

Proud Des and his multi-tier crane truck

On Des and dad’s now annual Christmas shopping excursion, he’s more than happy to try out the store’s camping chair

Chips, guac, sushi… what could be… funnier?

In his happy spot 🙂

The annual trip to Mangelsens for 2018 tree ornaments starts with the ceremonial browsing the miniature village displays- “SNOOPY!”

Des exploring the dark side with The Nightmare Before Christmas set

Ella: zero fear, as if, “Man, get a load of this guy!”

Playing with great grandma Jan’s original Fisher Price record player, nothing like that modern knock-off at home

Thankful for her new stocking, the family set is now complete!

Naps with Margaret

Eleanor’s first egg sandwich, and she’s eating it as a sandwich! (as opposed to grilled cheese, where she eats via later- pinching off the top layer of bread, followed by pinching and eating all the cheese off, then…)

“Footsie pajamas!” (her absolute favorite)

Des giving it a spin during the world’s longest game of Chutes & Ladders
