Seeing Santa

We rode the East Haven Santa Express Trolley (last seen in 2009).Leigh was the only one brave enough to sit on Santa's lap.Then she shoved a whole cookie in her mouth.

Time in Hfield means time with old toys. The Girls exploring the hotel.I like Hanako's aggressive catcher's squat.Lounging with cars.Danny discovered a top. He invented a knock-over knights game."Daddy, will you get me that wooden dreidel?"

Christmas Tree

SHV was gone yesterday, so we struggled to keep the ship afloat. Danny suggested some train time; the girls enjoyed it.Today we cut our Christmas Tree.

Post Thanksgiving update

We don't have many photos from Thanksgiving, but here's a moment in time. Danny making up the rules to Cars (the board game) for Lindy and Aunt Karen.Now that it's dark out, the girls like to stand in front of the window, look at their reflections, and shout their names.Ha-Naa!Li-Lee!

Helmets

While Danny was playing Uno with astronauts,the girls busted into his room and busted out the helmets.Silliness.

Drilling!

A big truck came by and started drilling our geothermal wells.Here's our project manager, Dan, explaining that they will drill down 375 feet, or until they hit ledge, whichever happens first.
They hit ledge after 8 feet. After much adjusting, they kept drilling.Obligatory toddler with shoes photo. Why do they love shoes so much?Bath time!
