Christmas Village 2010

Just before the new year we made our annual trek to Evyn's favorite yule spot, Koziar's Christmas Village.







I have very few pictures to show, because about a third of the way through the displays Andrew decided he wanted only to run free, or to lay on the sidewalk - no stroller, being carried, or walking hand-in-hand for this little monkey!

Evyn LOVES the snow; Andrew hates the cold. Still, they manage to find ways to play 'together' in the wintry weather:

Both kids loved the kitchen set that Santa brought for them. Hands-down, Andrew's favorite gift was the vacuum cleaner. Not even a chocolate-filled candy cane could convince him to put down the vacuum:


Later in the afternoon we went to Grams & Pops' house. Evyn crashed on the sofa- it took a while to get her to wake up and open gifts!
