Ellie's First Christmas

Okay, so I am way late, but better late than never! We had a great Christmas with my parents and grandparents this year. Hannah spent the season saying, "This is Ellie's first time to see lights, first time to have buckeyes, first time to make gingerbread houses...". We had a lot of fun and made lots of memories. Our first Christmas Eve service at our new church with my FOUR kids tucked beside me was precious. I am so thankful for this amazing year we have been given from the Lord!

Our Christmas breakfast


Pure excitement over a box of animal crackers! Love it!


Noah's favorite pose.

Ellie being silly with Daddy.

Gran is sporting the reindeer antlers that Noah picked out for her.


Hannah on the pogo stick she asked for. She has been reading lots of books written in the fifties lately and it was reflected in her Christmas list: pogo stick and roller skates. : )


We loved having Grandma Jean and Grandpa Bob this year!


Ellie spent lots of time combing Grandpa Bob's hair with a toy spaghetti server.:)



Gran made the girls matching aprons.


Bein' goofy as normal :)
