On to Christmas #2! Definitely check out the results of the Annual Ornament Exchange on Amy's Blog. We ate and opened presents and enjoyed each other! Here are some of the pics :-) (Thanks to Amy for the first few pictures)

The Cousins!
BFFs
Sadie and Christopher have an unexpected but great relationship! He surprises me with how much he likes playing with Sadie and seeks her out-they're super cute together.
I look a little kooky here but it's a good pic of the awesome scarf my sister made me for Christmas!
Grandpa and the girls
Reading the Christmas Story. We memorized Luke 2:11 last week and Ella was SO excited to hear it read on so many occassions since it's in the "go to" passage for the Christmas story. It was so cute to see her eyes light up and see her start mouthing the words when verse 11 came around :-)
How is it that ONLY the baby is looking at the camera! ha! I love my little family.
We talked to Stacy on skype (she's in Idaho) and were able to do the whole Secret Sibling gift exchange with her opening the present she'd received in the mail on camera while we watched. Technology is awesome.
The harmonicas Nana put in every kid's stocking were a big hit!
SO fun to have Uncle Dave with us this year. Sadie's taken a liking to him too :-)
Aunt Marissa took Ella shopping this year for presents for her immediate family plus a couple extra people if she had enough money. She (by herself) picked out these cups for Uncle Dave and Aunt Julie and was so excited to give them out!
THIS was the smile I was hoping for when I bought Christopher a remote control helicopter!! I got a big hug that made my day :-)
Eva liked her Kailan toys a lot :-)
Great Celebration!
The helicopter is his FAVORITE present!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, even though he'll never admit it... he LOVES Sadie :-)
