Eleanor's First Christmas



Eleanor at 9 months


Eleanor spent her first Christmas in Minneapolis with her Grandma, Grandpa, mom and dad and Auntie Molly (who came all the way from London). We had record snows on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and so we spent a few cozy days indoors. We finally ventured out to see family and friends later in the week. Despite Minnesota's winter weather, we still managed to get out and about and see all sorts of stimulating things.


Merry Merry Christmas!

Eleanor's critique: "It's pretty, but what does it mean?"


Eleanor's critique: "My head is cuter, and I wouldn't blow it up that big."


Eleanor's critique: "The Teletubies did it better."



And a Happy New Year!
