Elise wasn't very into the Christmas card photo shoot this year, but Dana was!

Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving and 2nd birthday party we had on Thursday. Thank you to Nonnie and Dana for making such a wonderful meal. Elise was quite the hostess. Here are some pictures from the festivities. Compare to last year if you like.

Halloween went off pretty well here at the Siegmund household. We got Elise to keep her bear head on long enough to visit five or six houses in our neighborhood. Trick or treating sure is not like I remembered it. We walked, and most of the houses in our neighborhood participated. Now, parents drive around casing out houses who are welcoming trick or treaters. It is pretty easy to tell which ones to go to -- the ones with four or five cars already parked in their yard.

We had lots of fun on Friday night. We ate a bunch of crappy food, rode on itty bitty kiddie rides, caught animals in the petting zoo, and heard Earl Scruggs. Elise especially liked the carousel and petting zoo.

This is not the best example of Elise's dancing, but it does feature a few of her signature moves.
. . . and here we are playing in the yard. Elise has been very insistent that she wear this dress over her other clothes.

Elise has quite a future in photography, don't you think?

Elise got to pet and feed all kinds of animals: goats, sheep, bunnies, and this little jackrabbit looking thing whose name I forgot. He is in the bottom picture, and was very friendly. There was also a camel and a monkey.
