Hot Cocoa Party at Elliott's House

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of paying a visit to my little friend Elliott and his mom and dad Cynthia and Doxey. We had wonderful hot cocoa (Ghirardelli's!) and some yummy banana bread that Cynthia made.

Elliott showed me this special ornament he made in daycare/school. If you look closely at the picture you can see the ornament is a small frame with a picture of Elliott inside. The frame itself has special sparkly glitter that Elliott added himself (with a little help from his dad).


Elliott's parents used to take monthly birthday pictures of Elliott sitting in the "big red chair" next to Samuel, his teddy bear friend. Lately, however, it's been difficult to get Elliott to stop moving long enough to sit up next to Samuel. We made a few attempts to get the sitting pose last night, but Elliott has a little too much energy to just sit where you put him. Instead I got a few prone shots of the squirmy wormy boy with his more sedate bear. I like this one.


To cap the evening off I had to get a picture of the family Christmas tree. The branches start nice and low to the ground so Elliott can enjoy it too.

Thank you to Elliott and his mom and dad for having me over. It was a fun time!
