2nd Real Haircut

Elodie got her first hair cute around the time she turned 1...  Mommy has been cutting it since - with mixed results... a few weeks ago we took her to a new place for a "professional" cut which she did not enjoy...  she screamed the entire time eventhough she was in Mommy's lap and Elmo was on TV.  She was all smiles though once it was over and she got a balloon and lollipop! 

Leaves!

On our last trip to Connecticut, Elodie had some fun playing in the leaves! 

Christmas Tree

Last weekend, Michael finally lived his dream of chopping down his very own Christmas tree!  This Florida boy lucked out with 65 degree weather (it's not usually this comfortable sweetie...)  We took a tractor ride up the hill and found the perfect tree.  Elodie had fun on the tractor but quickly got tired and wanted her paci and blankie while she helped cut the trunk with her plastic saw.  It was a fun little adventure.

Uncle Michael

Hey, who's this guy?  Not my Daddy!

Aunt Lindsey = Lena's Mommy

Rick's Birthday Cake

Yes, ANOTHER birthday cake!  November was a birthday frenzy - Aunt Ali, Aunt Lindsey, Daddy, Lena & Uncle Rick...  Rick's birthday was on Thanksgiving, but Elodie helped Aunt Ali bake him a birthday cake the next day. 

A Special Present for Lena

Elodie was very excited to give her cousin Lena a present when she came home to Grammie & Papa's house on Thanksgiving Day.  She knows this present will become very important to her---  it's a blankie!  Made by Grammie, just like Elodie's.  (In fact, Grammie made Elodie a new big blankie in "popo-dots" fabric that matches Lena's!)
