Holidays 2011

Happy holidays!!! The Myers family closed 2011 with lots of fun, new experiences for Reese (and us as well). This was the first year that she understood Christmas a little. Well, I think she understood Santa and presents, and that's about it. She thinks the menorah is a funny birthday cake and always wants to blow out the candles.

We went to Zoolights for the first time this year. Reese was a little disappointed that many of the animals were not out. It was a chilly night, but the lights were beautiful and there was just the perfect amount of snow falling to make it feel Christmas-y.

Reese asked Santa for a doll house and a snow globe.

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!!!

Snow!!

We had some good snow and very cold air visit Denver last week (or was it the week before that? I can't remember, this month is such a blur). Reese loves playing in the snow, but mostly likes to eat it and throw it in the air. Then she gets cold and wants to go inside. So, the amount of time it takes to get all her snow gear on is the amount of time she lasts playing in the snow. Oh well, it's fun anyway!!

I think this was a belly flop

...and not so happy afterwards.

Reese is really excited for Santa to visit this year. This is the first year that she is aware of it. It will be fun to start new holiday traditions!!!
