Merry Christmas

I can't believe that it is already Christmas. Being pregnant most of the year has made it fly past. Ellie woke up about 6 this morning and since she is newly afraid of the dark she yelled for us to come get her. So we brought her back to our bed for a few more hours of sleep (Maddie was still sleeping and I was not about to wake her). About 8:30 we all wake up. Ellie was still very tired.

Believe it or not she had no interest in opening up presents. She has been so excited for Santa and her American Girl Doll that she could not talk of anything else. Finally when she had finished opening her presents (it seemed like we forced her with some) she said, "Can I eat now." What? Really-that whole time all she was thinking about was eating. But after she downed breakfast she was so excited to play with everything, it was like she was opening them up all over again for the first time (with excitement this time).

She looks so excited about Christmas morning--all along she only wanted food
This is what she has been asking for for the last six months (notice the matching dressed)

it was a Colts Christmas for Bob and I
Maddie's gift-yes she is there, you can barely make her out

After we got cleaned up we loaded up to go to Nanny's. We had a yummy dinner as always. Ellie got a new outfit for her AG doll and Barbie stuff. Nanny's surpried all of us cousins with a very special gift. I love my Nanny so much and I thank God everyday for another one to have her in my life.

After we left Nanny's we spend time at Mom and Dad's. The girls were tired but Ellie held on to get the presents I am sure she has been asking for for months. Some of the items she got were: some cute outfits, a camera, and games (UNO Moo and Red Rover). Probably her favorite thing was her new pair of crocs (she got a total of five pairs of shoes/boots for Christmas-I see a potential prob




It is so hard to get a good family picture with a three year old

What a great Christmas weekend. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful family that strives to make sure my girls are happy.
