Christmas 2011

This year we had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at our house. On Christmas Eve, Kyle's parents and my mom came over to watch Ellie open her gifts from us. Ellie really got into opening her gifts. She would immediately say, "open!" and we would have to open that toy or outfit and she'd play with it for 10 or 15 minutes before we could get her to open the next. Opening gifts was a long process!

On Christmas morning, we woke up and Ellie got her Santa gifts and stocking. We opened presents and cooked breakfast. That afternoon, Kyle's parents and my whole family came over. We had dinner, opened gifts, and watched an exiciting slideshow (more on that in another post). Ellie got lots of new toys (I mean, lots. As in, I don't know where they are going to go!), new clothes, shoes, and pajamas. She had a blast this year!

Love those sweet cheeks! Look what Santa brought!

Ellie: "OMG! I must've been so good this year!"

I didn't take very many pictures on Christmas Day which is not like me at all!

But we had a great time and that's what matters most!

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
