Christmas Eve/Day

A few of my favorite pictures from the past two days of celebrating:

Ellie's favorite new game is running up and down the drive way at top speed - here she is racing towards Tim

Before present opening, having a Badger dance party with Lisa

Deeeelighted with her many new bunnies from Auntie Bee (I hope all of those bunnies are fixed... otherwise I'm in deep trouble.)

Absolutely thrilled with her tent from Auntie Sara. This morning I had to convince her that she wanted to open her presents from Santa first, THEN go play in her tent. I think when all was said and done, she would have rather just gone straight to the tent

Santa put a sparkly baton in her stocking, and I told her "it's for twirling." Instead of twirling her baton, she twirled herself!

Taking a quiet moment to read some of her new books before everyone arrived

The Eggman fries eggs for croque madams

Then shows Ellie how to make her new cars into ice cream trucks

Mom gets a new iPhone and ignores the rest of us to play with it. FIGURES.

Pa does a stint in the tent with Ellie and Bitty Baby

John has a food coma

This party is getting crazy!

We take 25 different photos and this is the only one that's not blurry, and where everyone has their eyes open

Then after a nap, we went over to Mimi and Pa's for an evening of loud, family craziness. There were quiet moments though, like when Pa helped Ellie draft her will. Planning ahead never hurt anyone!

And then she took Tim to the cleaners on the PS2. A perfect day all around! Plus a Christmas miracle - I actually shared some frosting with her. It's true love.
