Happy Holidays!

Happy Presents under the Tree Day, from Squid!

The night before christmas cupcakes!

We went to Lancaster Cupcake for another cupcake storytime - and they went all out! 

 Balloons, goldfish (Squid's favorite!) and punch!

  They read "The night before Christmas"and then Squid made a reindeer cupcake!  

(They also had a wreath cupcake option.)

And as an added bonus, they offered a free cupcake to the adults as well!  We had bourbon pecan, gingerbread and peppermint patty.

Koala crate: music

 We are loving our Kiwi crate subscription!  We upgraded from Cricket (the baby to age 2 set) to Koala (age 3-4) last month and this month's was an awesome music crate!  We made a xylophone, a tambourine and a ribbon dancer; we read and played with a magazine and Squid had an awesome time learning about writing music!

Etown Holiday Parade!

It was cold, but nice so we went out to the Holiday Parade downtown.

One of the local churches was handing out free cocoa!

Squid likes marching bands.

Yay - Fancy Cars!

We got both M&Ms and the Hershey Kiss mobile!  Central PA is sweet.

And the parade ended with Santa.

Hershey park: Christmas Candylane

Hi Reese!  We came to see your holiday decorations!

 Mmmm.. S'mores.  Yes, let's get together!

 Santa was kind of scary, but the Holiday Trees were pretty!

 And look at all the toys!  I think the Kiss will like his new scooter.
