Days of Christmas

Some new December pictures from the days leading up to Christmas! Enjoy!

Ready to go caroling....

Ellie's class at the senior assisted living home. Ellie is standing center/right. Ellie and her teacher Ms. Christie

Ellie and Kate love to be together

This is actually a picture of Ellie making sure Kate doesn't crawl toward something she isn't supposed to play with. Interesting method there Ellie!

Mommy getting ready to put Kate to bed for the evening

On a "walk" though apparently that only means me! These two are NOT easy to push!

More playtime at home...

I love this little dress from Mini Boden. Kate looks like a doll!

Hmmm...this looks like a good tunnel....

Our little wonder-woman!

Another day inside and LITERALLY my children are climbing up the walls!

At the annual Christmas party with all of our old Gymboree friends (Ellie looks like my cousin Laura here)

(The original crew...Ellie, Liam, Ava, Gabby, Matthew, Mary and Jacob...and good friend Sawyer too!)

The fire department came to our neighborhood late one night with Santa in tow. Ellie was SO EXCITED...it was past bedtime, raining, and all the moms and dads and kids were in the street in their jammies...TOO COOL! A memory she will have forever! Recently, Ellie's preschool class put on their Christmas program. Ellie was chosen to be Mary in the nativity story and let me just tell you that is no small deal! It was a very special part and a huge compliment to Ellie that she was chosen for such a role. She did so great and sang and danced her little heart out! Needless to say, we were (are) SO PROUD of her!

Ellie's number one fan gives her a round of applause :)

Auntie Tara and Nana and Papa of course came to support Ellie!(Look at Tara's cute bump! Baby boy will be here soon!)

Happy Holidays!
