This year we were up in the Dallas area visiting my side of the family. Before we left though, we had a little Christmas evening with just our little family. We gave Ella a play kitchen for Christmas, but honestly, she loved her candy cane almost as much!
Ella enjoyed so much all the Christmas decorations outside. She talked about snowmen and baby Jesus all the time and frequently thought Santa Claus was Noah. She still wants us to sing "Away in a Manger" before she goes to bed at night. Here she is holding baby Jesus from a Fisher Price nativity at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Grandma Boo and Grandpa Martin bought a rocking horse to have at their house when the grandkids visit and Ella had a lot of fun!
Ella got to spend a lot of time playing with her cousin...each time they see each other they are more and more interactive...it is fun to watch.
Ella helped decorate Christmas cookies...well, she honestly ate more icing than she spread on the cookies, but she did a really good job. Here she is peeking up to see if Grandma Boo is watching her take another taste of frosting even though she knew she was not supposed to!
Here are a few of Caleb...
Here are a few family pictures. The first is me, my mom and my sister. She is due with her baby in middle January. The second is my mom and my stepdad, Martin...with Caleb. The third is my brother Cory and his wife Stephanie - they were just married in July.

Josh called Santa "Noah" as well. He also called Santa "G-daddy" sometimes. Today when I asked him what he wanted to do, he said, "go see Christmas trees." He and Ella are two peas, I tell ya!
Calli has that kitchen and loves playing in it. Now Hudson is even starting to play with her in it, which is pretty funny. Looks like you all had a great time with family. Your kids are cuties.
