Fun on Ice

We went to see Disney On Ice presents Disney•Pixar’s Toy Story 3 on Wednesday night at the United Airways Center in Phoenix. It was so much fun! I couldn't believe how amazing the ice skating was, Matt loved the lights, and Elise danced to all the fun music.

Buzz, Woody, and a few others on the ice

I wanted Elise to wear her hat for this picture.

Apparently, she had other plans.

We even got to sit with my sister, Holly, and her family. They loved the show too!

just before the show began

I was glad Elise was too little to ask for a souvenir or a treat, because they had all kinds of fun things for sale and I would've been tempted to get her something!

Mickey and the gang made a few appearances too.

simply captivated

I got some videos of the show, but you can see some better ones here.

Instead, I'll share this video of Elise dancing. I didn't catch it all on camera, but she was really getting into the music, clapping her hands, and rocking out.

If you're interested in getting tickets, see my previous post for instructions on how to get a great deal! I would definitely recommend seeing the show.

All Better

Good news since the last post: Elise is almost 100% better, we have Elise's baby blanket back, and the cookie jar has been replaced. We are enjoying our time here at Matt's parents' house, and we had a great Christmas together. All's well that ends well, I guess.

Good and Bad

the vintage cookie jar Elise broke

Today was a good day because Mike, Matt's brother, got sealed to Amber in the San Diego California temple. The sealing was the first I'd been to since my own, and it was even in the same sealing room as ours. It was really special, and I'm so happy for them. (I'll post some pictures when we get back to Arizona.)

Today was also a hard day. Elise got only short naps in the car between destinations. She was cold and tired and hungry much more of the day than I would have liked. She did great, all things considered, but weddings are just hard for babies. And I think she's sick with a little fever and a cough. And she broke a vintage cookie jar at the reception. The cookie jar belonged to Mike's new mother-in-law, who I've never spoken to before but will be spending Christmas Day with. And I lost Elise's baby blanket sometime today. Let's just say I've shed some tears more than once today.

Here's to hoping tomorrow will have fewer mishaps. And fewer tears.

Anatomy

Here's Elise with an anatomy lesson. Enjoy!

Yes, she says baby instead of belly; my sister just had a baby a few days ago, and Elise doesn't quite understand gestation.

Christmas Lion

The Christmas tree is fun. Elise spends a lot of time looking at it, admiring the ornaments and lights, and touching it. I spend a lot of time watching her look at it, replacing the ornaments, and reminding her not to touch.

Her favorite ornament is a lion. If she approaches the tree roaring, that means she wants to see her friend the lion.

Here she is getting ready to roar (just kidding).

This video was right before she bit its face.

Aaand here she is biting its face. Yeah.

(It's paper mache, so you can imagine how that went. The lion will never be quite the same.)

Ryland loves lions. (He loved them first.) And he loves growling. Here he is roaring in his lion pj's.
