Sleepy Anna

Anna is so sleepy this afternoon but just won't nap. We decided to watch Cinderella and eat popcorn instead.

Christmas in CT

We travelled to Connecticut again this year for Christmas. Anna had so much fun playing with her cousins, aunts, uncles and all the dogs that we are still recuperating. Santa seemed to find Anna where ever she went. He even came personally to hand out gifts on Friday at Grammy and Grampy's house. Anna was scared at first but once she figured out that he had presents she changed her mind. Anna offered Santa hugs but wasn't ready to sit on his lap. Maybe next year.

Fun Hat

Anna spent all of Monday working on her fun hat. It even dispenses raisins like Curious George's. I had to draw the line at adding ice cream to the hat. It only took four tries and two rolls of tape to make.

Christmas Party

To end the weekend before Christmas we hosted a holiday party for our friends.

Polar Express

Hiding from Santa
Saturday Grammy and Grampy joined us for a ride on the Polar Express in Portland. We rode the train to the North Pole to pick up Santa. We enjoyed the book Polar Express while elves gave us hot chocolate and cookies. On the ride back to the station the conductor and Santa visited every child. Anna didn't cry when Santa greeted her but didn't seem to like him either. Anna favorite part was getting her bell to bring home.

BCM

Friday was Marty's birthday and also the day he came home from two weeks of training in Virginia. Anna was so excited to see him I had to find something to make the day pass faster. So we spent the afternoon at the Children's Museum in Boston. We almost had the entire place to ourselves. I think we played in every room and didn't have to wait or share a thing. The best part was when I told her it was time to head to the airport she ran to the door without putting up a fight about leaving.

Nancy and Chris' Wedding

Marty and I left Anna for the weekend to attend Nancy and Chris' wedding on the Cape. We had a blast. It may have been one of the most memorable wedding other than our own. It even included parading into the reception in "Team Sewell" tee shirts. I can't wait to see those photos. Who knows what the McGinnis and Sewell clans will come up with for the next wedding!!

Silly Anna

While Marty and I were on the Cape this weekend for Nancy and Chris' wedding, my Mom took some silly photos of Anna. She enjoyed hamming it up for the camera.

Berwick Christmas Parade

The Berwick Village Preschool won first place in the commercial category in the annual Berwick Christmas Parade. Unfortunately Marty and I missed the parade but my Mom and Rowdy took Anna. After the award ceremony Anna wanted to head home until she saw her teachers and classmates begin the parade. Originally Anna was to ride on the float but decided to walk the whole route. Anna enjoyed sampling the candy the bigger kids threw to the crowd and loved visiting the other floats.
