Christmas Fun!

We had such a fun Christmas! Ellie got just what she wanted from Santa: a dolly, bottle, and a blankie (I have a cute video of her asking for her dolly but it won't upload at the moment.) She was so much fun to watch on Christmas morning - she was so excited about everything she got.

Elliett's dolly, bottle, and blankie from Santa.


Toolbox from Grandma and Grandpa Hemsley. She asks to 'build tools' all the time now and loves to hammer the nails in.


The awesome lantern Ellie got from Grandma and Grandpa Maxwell - she has been asking to go camping nearly every day since she got the lantern.


The Hemsley family checking out the Winkflash album I made for Rob's mom and dad. It was great to sit and watch them react to all the pictures and see certain memories come flooding back. I made one for my parents too and it was a lot more work than I had anticipated but I could hardly stand how excited I was to give them to our families. :)

The best part of Christmas was spending time with our families. I know that sounds cliche but it's true. I would have given up all the presents and yummy food just to be able to be with our families.

I cannot believe how big Ellie's getting and how long her hair has grown! She is ADORABLE!! When I see those cheeks I just want to kiss them.

So true about spending time with our families. I am always sad when Christmas is over. What a great gift you gave to your parents! Love that. I'm sure they were so stoked about it. Love reading your posts!
