First Christmas (Not quite as early edition)

This week we celebrated Christmas with Uncle Jon and Aunt Shawnee, who were also meeting Eleanor for the first time.  In addition to a wonderful dinner of Beef Tenderloin (or Pork Tenderloin, if you ask Lary) we took a trip down to the Christkindlmarket downtown, where Eleanor met Santa Claus for the first time.  Unrelated to the holiday cheer, but just as exciting, was Eleanor’s first time rolling over (from tummy to back), which will likely signal the end of extended periods of “tummy time”.  Keeping this week packed with firsts, Eleanor also cut two front bottom teeth (pictured in the two extreme closeup shots below).

A list of all the notable firsts this week:

• Meeting Uncle Jon and Aunt Shawnee
• Meeting Santa Claus
• Rolling Over
• Arrival of first two front bottom teeth (fulfilling a lyrical Christmas wish)

All this activity generated lots of pictures, so enjoy!
