Goodbye November, Hello December!

Here are some pictures from our weekend! We were very busy but had the best holiday break. Our neighborhood is fully lit up (I have never seen anything like it!) and Ellie is thrilled by all the holiday hoopla. I absolutely love this time of year and it is SO fun with Ellie because everything is new to her again (she doesn't remember any of it from last year). Family traditions are really important to Dan and I and we are truly enjoying sharing them with our daughter. Enjoy!
Ballet Practice...
Dan putting up the lights. Our neighborhood has a competition and every one really gets into it! It is so much fun (unless you are the one on the ladder!). We decided to do red and white lights. Great job Babe!
Picture with Pops at the annual McDonald Christmas party...Doesn't he look awesome?!
Ellie's list for Santa on the cookie plate...of course we are done shopping for her and she didn't get two of the things on the list. Do you think she will notice? :}
Ellie with picnic basket for our tree chopping adventure...hot apple cider, homemade cookies, and turkey sandwiches. MMMMM!
Ready to go!
Ellie picked the tree...it is over 10 feet tall! It didn't look that big at the tree farm but you should see it at our house!
Ellie helped Dan chop the tree
Exhausted...Ellie crashed in our bed for the night. Look how she fell asleep. :)
