Christmas Morning

 

 Peek...

 a-boo!

 Oh, that crazy hair and that adorable smile!

 Thanks Uncle Rus and Aunt Kathy for the book and adorable hat and mittens!

 Ellie's first My Little Pony.

 She cracks me up!

Merry Christmas everyone! We have been opening presents for a week. Come Sunday, she's going to wonder why there are no more presents!

Christmas Eve

 More presents!

Ellie wants to be one of the big girls so bad! She walked around with a hooded sweatshirt on her head because the other girls had hooded blankets on.

 Getting sleepy and watching the Polar Express before bedtime.

Cheesy Grin

We hadn't taken any bath time photos in a while, so it was time. She is awesome at the cheesy smile!

Polar Express

Waiting to board the train.

Shortly after this picture, she fell down and got all wet!

Clapping and dancing to the Christmas music!

The ride had a beautiful view. All the cousins had fun singing, telling jokes, sipping hot chocolate, and eating cookies.

Santa came to visit all the kids at the end of the ride. He sat right next to Ellie and me. Ellie wasn't too upset as long as the binky was in. Santa handed out silver bells to everyone.

Who is this old guy?

SLC

 

 Shopping at the mall.

 "Stop talking Daddy!"

Ellie didn't want to see Santa, but as soon as he took a coffee break, she snuck onto his awesome chair to play.

Reading her new books with Abby.

 So many presents, so many kids!

Ellie loves her new cow!

It's Christmas again!

  Getting out the lights for the tree. Ellie thought they were so pretty and whenever we plug the tree in she says "Ooooo."

 The ornaments had to be above arms reach, just a little too tempting and she hears "No, no," enough as it is. So we just avoided having to say it more!

 We went to the cemetery with Grandma and Grandpa Lusk's annual Christmas wreath. She wouldn't walk into the snow from the pavement. She had to be picked up and put down in it. Then she immediately sat down and had snow everywhere.

Check out that outfit. Another "Daddy dressed me" day!
