We had such a wonderful Christmas. The whole season went too quickly, I’m having withdrawls already. We were in Boston with Jeff’s family for Thanksgiving, so this year, we stayed local and after opening presents at our house and having a fun cinnamon bun breakfast, we headed to my parents house to celebrate and have Christmas dinner.
Ellie, at 3 years and a couple months, was loads of fun. Everything she opened was so exciting for her. She danced to Christmas music (her favorites being “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”and “I Saw Three Ships”). She helped me make Christmas cookies and pass them out to friends and neighbors. We did lots of Christmas crafting, she got to go ice skating several times with her Dada. Her Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles from both sides spoiled her with delightful gifts and goodies. And Santa brought her a heavy baby (made from this wonderful doll maker) and a new stroller to replace the old one that broke (from here), as well as a soccer ball she had been wanting. We had so much fun this season!
