Drawings from a 2 year old

I wish I knew what Elsa was saying when telling me about her drawings, because she had quite a story to go along with these pictures. All I got out of her talking a million miles a minute where whale, big, and small.

randomness from the camera

Our camera lens was broken this last summer and I just got a new one in the mail today as an early birthday present- hooray! I found some funny and random pictures on it when I got it back out of the closet.

E sitting on her stuffed kitty- a little foreshadowing of  what she would try to do with Darcy!!

 Everyone needs a pair of 3-D bubble glasses!

 This girl will color and color, I love it.

I am amazed how well she can color in the lines for her age. Maybe most 28 month olds can and I am just overly amazed cause she is my daughter!

On a side note:
Hopefully the next post or so will be of the new baby...T-10 days till she is due!

Snow

Elsa has been talking about building a snowman for a while now. Sadly, this snow storm came with a big layer of ice and was not snowman building material. But, E was happy to just get out in the snow and make snow angles and forts with Alex.

close up of her "don't get me" face... love it!

Christmas 2011

Some overdue random pictures from this Christmas....

 Pre-Christmas decorating

Of course we had to watch the Steelers on Christmas Eve (and enjoy some Christmas m&m's too)

 Christmas Morning

 hanging this year's ornaments on the tree

 Yay for new books and

 Robots!

 New train set

 We headed over to Grandpa and GG's house and E got a homemade Chateau especially made for her....

 

 decked out with a Christmas tree with lights and decorations!

Later we drove to Huntingdon to spend Christmas night.

 loving all the attention

Play-dough with Grandpa

A few days later we took another drive to Maryland to see more family- sadly, I didn't take one picture but I promise it was fun and eventful!

Weekend

I think this might of been one of Elsa's top weekends.....

First, she got up nice and early Friday and was able to watch the 20 school buses drive past our house. To her, this was just they way she wanted to start her morning!

 Of course, Laddie had to come watch too! 

Next, Joe & Julie got to spend the weekend at our house. To Elsa, not much is better than having those two constantly around!

She wanted to do whatever they were doing. 

(sorry, Joe- didn't get any pictures of you!)

Lastly, She helped Alex pick out a kitty from the ARL

This is our new kitty- Darcy

 She is a super sweet kitty.

 Loves to play with E's toys

 She deals really well with how excited E gets around her, unlike most cats who run for their life when they see Elsa coming!
