We made a trip to Build a Bear workshop, and we decided I needed a new "friend". We decided on Jake the cat... and they met when we got home.

Disney on Ice
Each year santa brings the girls tickets to Disney on Ice. The girls got dressed up and enjoyed the show with grandmom by their sides!!
Christmas at the shore!
On December 23rd we headed to the shore for a few days. We stayed with Aunt Gerry and her cat Oliver and celebrated christmas with her and visited our favorite places at the shore. We enjoyed a chilly walk on the beach, went to the Pier, and went shopping at the walk. It was a great way to celebrate the holiday season with the family!!

Christmas part #1
Each year we get together with Aunt Joanne for an "early christmas" to make it easier on the big day. This year the girls had extra fun... and were now warmed up for christmas.
hot chocolate time with friends
Angela had her friends over (Mackenzie and Sarah) to enjoy some playtime and hot chocolate - super yummy!!

A Gingerbread house... or is it?
So, we decided to do the "traditional" building of a gingerbread house at the Reedell house. Then I decided to do a "makeover version" and the girls loved it. Instead of gingerbread, we used graham crackers, peanut butter instead of icing, and pretzels, cranberries, and chocolate chips instead of candy. It was sooo much fun.... and yummy!!

Visit to St. Mary's Hospital
We were fortunate that we have made it over 5 years without any visits to the ER for Elyse. Well, that run ended on monday, when we realized that the back of her earring actually was totallly inside her earlobe and we were not sure how it could be removed. The doctor was shocked that the earring back had totally dissappeared, but then went to work. He shot up her ear with Lydacane (probably spelled totally wrong...) and was amazed that she only said "ouch" a few times without any tears. He then opened up the front earring hole with tweezers and "searched" for the earring back. Finally he got hold of it, and pulled it out, and we were done. We were even happier to find out that it did not appear to be infected, so after a small dose of antibiotics, we were outta there. Elyse was such a trooper... she really is our "tough bunny"!!
Elyse waiting for the doctor to come into the room
All that she has to show from her visit is her hospital bracelet and a steri-strip!!
We are now going to leave the idea of putting in new earrings up to her, when she is ready!

Crossfit Christmas Tree
So, this year Lifeforce Crossfit is putting up a christmas tree and they challenged us to make "crossfit ornaments"... and this is what I created - and had a great time doing so!!
puke bucket (more of a joke, but I thought it was fun), barbell, and of course the kettelebell...
Santa Baby!
Eventhough the calendar says December, it just doesn't feel like Christmas until you visit with Santa! We thank our friends, the Haluska family for inviting us again for the "Santa Party". We had a great time and everyone enjoyed their conversation with Santa!!
Merry Christmas from the Reedell gals!!
Elyse wasn't thrilled about Santa saying " you have to be nice to your sister and listen to your mommy and daddy"....
Mommy time with Santa! - Kathi, Megan, Santa, Donna, and Heather

Crossfit Baby!
Because I don't have enough to do, I decided to sign up for Crossfit classes. Crossfit is an incredibly difficult workout, that is never the same twice. It challenges your body in ways you could not even imagine. One day you will be doing running, rowing, and pull ups - all timed of course. The next day you could be doing olympic weight lifting and wall balls. The next day, who knows what!! One of the toughest and my favorite moves is the handstand push up....
These workouts are no joke... but they are great!!
Fun with Friends
Elyse has been enjoying playing with friends before heading to school lately...
