Christmas Morning
I just love Isabel's expressions as she would open her Christmas presents from Santa. The only thing she told Santa that she really wanted was a pink unicorn pony. And she told that to every santa she saw & in her letter to him. So, she got 2 different pink unicorn ponies and some other new ponies. The girl loves her ponies.

Christmas Eve: Family Presents
Isabel had such a hard time waiting all day until it was time to open our family Christmas presents. Her big gift from mommy & daddy was the new play kitchen, which she has had a great time playing with already. Her brother gave her some wooden cutting food, which goes so nicely with the wooden kitchen. The other thing you can see in the picture is some new pink jammies that she received from mommy & daddy. The other presents she received from mommy & daddy is a couple books, a new puzzle, an art set, and a sock monkey. The homemade items that mommy made her were story blocks, a hat, and a dress. And baby dolly received a homemade knit scarf and mittens set that matches Isabel's hat.

Christmas Present from Kendra
Sparkly Trees Craft
Santa @ Frbo Library
We had no idea Santa was going to be at storytime. If I did know, I would have made sure she picked out clothes that matched. Sometimes the outfits she picks out can be quite interesting. She was pretty happy to see Santa again. Of course, she told him she wants a pink unicorn pony (which she has told all the other Santas, she has seen him 4 times.) Santa gave all the kids a candy cane a d stuffed penguin, which she thought was way cool, that Santa was giving an early present.
Northfield Winter Walk
I took the kids to the Northfield Winter Walk this year. I had never been to it before. Lots of carolers & instrumentalists, all the free apple cider & cookies you could want, free sleigh rides, face painting, ornament making santa's helpers walking the streets & Santa. There were also plays & puppet shows & another holiday characters to meet and other things that we didn't get a chance to do. But we had fun.

St. Nick's Day
So, this year Isabel wrote her letter to Santa on the iPad and we left it by their stocking for him to read when he came to check on them. Then Santa wrote her & Henry back a letter. Her St. Nick presents included a christmas plate, a christmas book, christmas ornaments, some candy, a bracelet & purse.
The other lesson I learned about her Santa expectations (see brother's blog for the other one) is that all the presents in the stocking are supposed to be wrapped. In the past they always have been and I was feeling kinda lazy this time and asked daddy if I had to wrap them and he said no, so I didn't. Anyways, she remembers they were always wrapped. Guess they will actually be wrapped on Christmas Day.
Playdate with Gavin
Our family friends came over on Sunday, what I mean by family friends is that it's not just that I am friends with the mom from our playgroup. Our whole family is friends with their whole family. The dads were working on making their next adult beverage (they finally started drinking some of the beer they made, as it takes a long time, and they did a good job and made something edible) and watching the Vikings game. While that was going on, Isabel & Gavin were playing together and making crafts (Christmas train & decorated ornaments.)
Christmas Crafts
Our friends Cheri, Cole & Jacqueline came over on Tuesday and we made the above crafts with them: baby food jar santa, fingerprint lightstrand & Christmas train.
Today, Isabel's BFF Maizee and her little sister Berklee came over for a playdate. They had fun playing dress-up and making crafts (candy decorated christmas tree and jewel decorated tree {not pictured}).
These are the ornament crafts she made on Saturday when her friend Amelia was over for a playdate.
These were crafts that she made at our ECFE class on Tuesday night. She made a dog biscuit ornament, a snowman, and a yarn ornament.
This is such a crazy picture. She is in some dress-up clothes and did her own hair. She made these crafts on Monday when her friend Aleah came over for a playdate. The painted christmas tree is a little container and they also made christmas cards.
