A Very Furry Christmas

We have been to Sesame Place once before when we chaperoned for Gavin's Kindergarten class field trip.  This year, we decided to go again- only this time we planned to go in the winter to celebrate a Very Furry Christmas with some very silly characters!


A Very Furry Christmas in Sesame Place is so.much.fun!


We met up with the George family...aren't they the cutest?
{Some more Orapallo crew later down this post}


The largest Christmas tree in Sesame-


 Sesame street is so beautiful and festive this time of year!


 Kisses under the missle-toe!


 The dance shows with the furry characters was another big hit! 


 And Elmo's World was pretty neat to see Live!


Furry Friends parade was a big hit and Gavin got to meet Grover! 


It was bitter cold on this evening, but the festive set-up at Sesame Place {and hot chocolate} make up for the red noses, and frozen toes.

 
 The good company also made it worth the trip!


 The light display was our grand exit, until next year! 


We hope you had a very furry Christmas... 

   And a fabulous New Year!

Insta-December

December is such a busy time of year but simply one of my favorites.  I count down to the month of celebrating Christmas spirit with those we love, and mostly a month of celebrating my little man's birth date, and all the fabulous in-between happenings!

Enzo Dingledash

Enzo Dingledash is our favorite family Elf.  Gavin has loved him from the very beginning and although we tried sending Enzo to the North Pole at the end of the holiday season, we just couldn't do it.  Gavin missed his festive little friend so he is with us year round.  Although he saves his cute little tricks for the month of December.  A few of our favorite memories with Enzo...

Lego Miniatures tied Enzo to Gavin's lamp post...


A very special Birthday wish...


Always found in Stockings...


And traveled all the way to Pillow for our Christmas with my fam!


 A little surprise Christmas package from Enzo to Gavin!


The spirit of Christmas is everywhere in the O house...thanks to Enzo!
