Santa on a Garbage Truck

Here are a few pics from elana's first Santa experience at daycare last week. She is in the bottom picture, 2nd from the right. Yes, Santa came on a garbage truck. She hasn't stopped talking about it since it happened:







Here is a pic of Elana on the plane on our way to AZ last weekend:

Spinning Around

With Taryn and Elana in Arizona for the week, I have found myself watching videos of Elana in her absence (not as fun as the live version). Here's a recent video of Elana spinning around the room.

Music at the Mall

Today Elana and I went downtown to see Taryn conducting her chamber ensemble. They were playing Christmas songs for a couple hours at Pacific Place. They piped the music throughout the whole mall. The first picture shows Elana after she realizes that her Mama is in the vicinity.


Elana stayed close to the action:


Reunited at last:


On our way out, Elana ventured into the AT&T store - she saw the balloons on display, not the phones. The manager was nice enough to give her one. She said "thank you" under her breath.
