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 🙂

Des building a tractor and trailer to haul Lightning McQueen
Eleanor with those leftover blues (despite the brussels sprouts!)
“There’s jam on my cookie!!” Des is pretty excited about his cookie from Megan-
Ella modeling her reindeer/santa pajamas
Little Ella Marie, who was no more than two, reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas with mom
Des unveiling his most recent “Barn with Crane” build
Eleanor showing grandma her new magnetic costume doll
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!

They’re clearly plotting something, and require the Max’ assistance
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
