Another St. Nick in Pewaukee...

We were at Karen and Doug's for our monthly pizza dinner tonight, and St. Nick managed to find his way to their house with gifts. We originally had plans to have dinner there closer to St. Nick day, but due to the weather that week we cancelled. But Rowan got many nice things from Good Ol' St. Nick in Pewaukee again!

Presents yet???

So, it clearly isn't Christmas yet, but Rowan noticed a new present under the tree, and despite her inability to read, knew it was for her and decided to open it. The funny thing is, there have been 3 gifts under the tree for a couple weeks now, and she hasn't touched them. But when the new one appeared, it was a different story. Luckily, the gift was for her! So she got her Grinch sweatshirt, and Cindy Lou Who and Max outfit a bit early! That'll teach Nana not to put her gifts under the tree early!

Christmas KAMP...

Yesterday, Rowan and I went to a party with all her friends (children of my co-workers) and Santa too. Amy, as always, had an outstanding couple of hours planned. The party was, Ella and Lily's Gingerbread house. So the house was decorated in such a way, and many of the party favors were gingerbread themed as well. We had a lovely lunch display, decorated cookies, played, and even had a visit from Santa.
We also did a gift exchange between the kids, and Rowan received the Cat in the Hat book (yes, we didn't own that one), and her favorite Gerber fruit strips!
Then there was Santa! Not so much of a fan this year as you can see. She was fine when he first came, but once we got close to him, and her mean mom put her on his lap, the tears were flowing. It even took her a few minutes to recover and make sure I wasn't going to put her near him again.
Here are a few photos of the delightful set up Amy had for us!

Playing in the Snow, Round 2!

This was Rowan's 2nd time out playing in the snow today. This afternoon it was a bit colder than it was this morning, but easier to navigate around the driveway being the majority of the snow had been removed in the morning. She had lots of fun outside. The snow in the yard was too deep for her to walk through, she had a hard enough time dealing with the snowpants and boots without inches of snow!

Mmmm...fudge...

In between playing in the snow today, Rowan helped Nana with her fudge making. Or maybe just the clean up part. But she was a good helper!

1st time in the snow...

Rowan and I went outside after breakfast this morning to enjoy the new snowfall, and help with clearing the driveway and sidewalks. Admittedly, we didn't help much in the snow removal area, but we enjoyed the snow. We tried out her new sled and shovel too. It was hard enough to keep her mittens on, so actually using the shovel wasn't in the picture, but she tried to pull it around with her a bit! We will have to wait for the snow to pack down a bit before we actually take the sled down a hill, the snow kept getting stuck underneath making it difficult to pull her. Therefore, we made several circles around the driveway instead!
