Christmas 2009- Ellie's First Christmas

We had a great holiday and were able to see so many special people. Ellie's first Christmas was really fun for all of us. But she slept through most of the festivities. We are still recovering from Christmas so that is why this post is so overdue :)

It is a Christmas Eve tradition to get together with neighborhood friends after dinner. We used to stay out much later with these friends. But Santa now comes very early on Christmas morning :)

Grampy giving the thumbs up to dinner. It was delicious !!

Santa ate all of the cookies and the reindeer only left the tops of the carrots. But Santa did have time to write a note to Isabelle and Ellie.

Opening presents is really hard work !!

Part two of Christmas day was heading up to Nana and Papa's house. Ellie decided to take a nap on Papa.

After Christmas we visited with the Bethany, Juliana, and Amelia. We were lucky enough to get to see them twice while they were visiting from AZ.
