Ella's FIRST Christmas!

We hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas! We all sure did! It was SO much fun watching Ella with all her new gifts, the wrapping paper, the tags, etc! It couldn't have been a better morning. First off, you all know that Christmas is my MOST favorite time of the year! And when there's rain to make it feel even more like Christmas, it's by far the best. Us 3 were all cozy in our home, with a fire going on the fireplace, Christmas music playing, my Christmas Morning Casserole baking in the oven, coffee brewing, rain falling outside and tons of laughter inside the house. :) We had so much fun!

Ella was a VERY good girl and Santa must have known because he left so many wonderful things for her! She loved them all! Thanks, Santa! Our house is now overflowing with Ella's stuff! We had to run out today to get a new chest for all her toys. I was tired of my house looking like a daycare center. :) And we're going to convert our atrium into "Ella's play area!" For outdoor stuff, of course. :) Her new picnic table and sand/water table will be going out there when we're finished with it. She'll love it! So will I! :)

So...it's all over with now... :( I get so sad the day after Christmas. I truly wish we could leave our Christmas decorations and trees up year-round! And play Christmas music every single day of the year! But, it'll be fun watching Ella play with all her new things! And now...it's Birthday Party Planning time! Yikes!!
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you had a wonderful day!

Thanks so much, Lindsay! You're so sweet! And yes, we should totally do a scrapbooking party when I order all of that! That would be so fun! You and Angela are going to have to teach me how to do all this stuff! :)
