I had SO many fun Christmas things planned for this past week. We were going to take advantage of our last week in the US and do every holiday thing I could think of. We were going to see Santa and bake cookies and build gingerbread houses and do Christmas crafts and go shopping and see lights. And then Riley got really sick, and all those plans got tossed aside. BUT, I am happy to say she's on the mend, and getting back to her normal self, just in time to hop on a plane back to NZ tomorrow. But we still have some time for a little Christmas fun before we go!
First, we needed to take a few fun Christmas tree photos...

Fun, right? Then I had this awesome idea of getting Riley to help put up all the ornaments on the tree, which interested her for all of 30 seconds before she was over it. Oh well, maybe it will more fun next year. All she really wants to do is pull the teddy bear ornament OFF the tree.
Then last night we did a mini Christmas with my grandma (Riley's GG). I was a little nervous since my Grandma has some very nice, very breakable things in her home, but Riley did extremely well. She was fascinated with the train that was going around and around the tree.
Also on the list of fascinating things at GG's house? A little white doily (or hat?), and chairs perfectly sized for climbing.
We finished off the evening by checking out the spectacular Christmas lights in Alameda, followed by Riley's first good, cough-free night of sleep in over a week. Lots more Christmas cheer to come, this post is getting too long!
