Too Much Holidays!

Probably my favorite photo from the entire holiday trip...completely zonked out in the car...firmly clutching the new Dora movie, and a Ballon from Mamaw's...too Cute! She eventually let go of the Balloon...but did not let go of Dora.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Morning was fantastic! Ella was a little groggy when she first came downstairs, and the first thing she could say was "LOOK!" It didn't take her long to thoroughly examine the bounty, and of course, went first for the simple Diego Puzzle (she has a crush!) She is very excited about her art easel, and definitely the new baby dolls and their bed!

Where did Santa Park the Sleigh???
How did that Chubby Guy come down this Fireplace????

Ella right in the middle of it!!

The blessings of Santa Claus!!!

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was a lot of fun this year...Ella was full of excitement for Santa's Visit! We had a wonderful meal at Mimi and Pappy's, had Christmas with them, went to Mass, and got Ella home and ready for Ho Ho!

Christmas Day was a lot of fun..a little hectic, but Ella held up with the travel, got a little nap in on the way to Owensboro, and was recharged and ready to go once the fun started!
