Christmas!!

This Christmas we all (ALL = 2 grandparents, 2 parents, 3 siblings, 3 siblings-in-law, and 6 cousins) went to my grandmother's house in Kansas. It was the first time that everyone except my parents had met Miss Ella.

All of her cousins loved meeting and playing with her. Bekah (4 yo) kept tucking Ella in with her own blanket and stroking Ella's soft little cheeks. We took professional pictures of the family (stay tuned for scanning those in) and Micah kept petting Ella's soft little head in the pictures - so funny and cute! Ella LOVED watching her cousins play (esp. Jessye 1 yo) and wanted to be on the floor playing with them so badly, but all she could do was wiggle around. Her eyes were as big as saucers watching everyone play with their toys.

Micah and Ella - so sweet


CHRISTMAS EVE - Dad got out his guitar and we all sang Christmas carols with the little ones. It was really a lot of fun and some good family memories.


































CHRISTMAS MORNING PANDEMONIUM


There is nothing like having 6 kids ages 6 and under opening stockings and Christmas presents. All of them yelling out the fun things they were unwrapping. It was a bit much for little Ella who was quickly overstimulated and fell asleep.















































Ella Cuddles - everyone had a good time cuddling with our sweet little girl especially Nana (my mom).












































One day was really nice and sunny and we all went out and played soccer and enjoyed the beautiful winter day.

The BEST Christmas gift EVER!
