Here are some pictures from the last week or two of 2012.
Eleanor and I went to see the Nutcracker ballet and she loved it!
As we were walking back to the car afterwards she looked up at me and said, "Mama, that was just great."
Trying to stand up on her toes like the ballerinas.
All ready for church on Christmas Eve!
After we got home, we put out "reindeer food" that Eleanor prepared at school. It's oats and glitter. The smell of the oats attracts the reindeer and the glitter shines in the moonlight to help them find your home. :)
She covered the yard!
Not a great picture, but once they were both ready for bed on Christmas Eve we went on a walk to see Christmas lights. We did this several times throughout December and they loved it!
Santa came!
That's a barn for Arthur and a pirate ship for Eleanor. I made the mat under the pirate ship - it's an ocean with an island on one side (not too exciting) and green with woods, a farm, and a lake on the other side. I think the green side is much more interesting but it stays on the ocean side with the pirate ship for now. I'll have to post better pictures of it sometime.
Eleanor has been wanting a Compsognathus for months and she finally got one. I love how "Santa" set him up!
Spotting her pirate ship from the top of the stairs
Happy girl!
Arthur went straight to work with his barn
I think she actually played with the trampoline more than the pirate ship
The dinosaurs are eating the pirates.
It didn't take long for all of her dinosaurs to make their way to the pirate ship and climb on board.
Jump to our anniversary trip on Amelia Island!
The first morning we were there we borrowed bikes from our B&B and rode them to Fort Clinch State Park, a 9 mile ride round trip. It was so pretty biking through the state park! The fort itself wasn't terribly exciting since it's a Civil War Fort where nothing ever happened, but it was fun to walk around.
After lunch we took a boat tour that was definitely the highlight of our trip! My pictures aren't very exciting, but the tour was very interesting with lots of history.
This is the house where the Pippi Longstocking movie was filmed.
Wild horses on Cumberland Island
Here's the courtyard at our B&B at night
House across the street from our B&B, supposedly the most photographed house in the Southeast.
