Holiday Festivities

Parade of Lights, Corning NY 2006

On Saturday, we headed over to Corning, NY to participate in the Holiday festivities downtown. Lexi was adamant about NOT visiting with Kris Kringle, so we skipped that and headed straight for the reindeer. Took some time to mosey down the main street, and had some delicious pizza at Atlas Brick Oven Pizzeria. There weren't any tables avaialble, so we decided to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a front row seat to all the pizza-dough tossing a little girl can handle.

Then we headed outside to watch the Parade of Lights. Lexi was excited to see the street blocked off and took the opportunity to dance in the street.

Singing with Great-Grandma

 

Lexi is lucky to be able to spend time with Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma Elliott. For the Thanksgiving break this year, we took a trip to visit them in Western New York. Since my grandmother plays the piano so well, and Lexi has memorized at least half of the primary songs (and that is NOT an exageration), they sat down together to play & sing primary songs. Great-Grandma did more of the playing and singing than Lexi, but Lexi seemed to love the time together! By the last day there, I think I overheard Lexi actually singing some of the lyrics herself. 

Shall We Dance?

Red Shoes

 

While shopping at Marshalls the other day, Lexi found a pair of red shoes that she fell in love with. She was pretty upset when I said it was time to take them off! With a pose like this, maybe she could be America's Next Top Model!  

Apologies

Many apologies to our faithful blog readers... the past few weeks have found me feeling quite under the weather, and not up to posting. Plus, we just have not done anything blog-worthy in the past few weeks. Check back for updates...
