Christmas and New Year's

We spent Christmas this year in Huntsville at my parent's house. We had a really great time and this year, by far, was the most fun with Ella. She was extremely excited! She couldn't go to sleep on Christmas Eve because of the excitement, but when Zach showed her on the computer how close Santa was it didn't take her long. I have an embarassingly small amount of pictures from the trip...I guess we were just to busy visiting and having fun that I forgot, but I do have a few.



Uncle John and Cale. He was pretty impressed with himself that he got Cale to sleep. I really enjoyed seeing the two of them together, they are a lot alike and Cale reminds of John a lot of the time.
Honey and Ella baked cookies for Santa...
This is the ONLY picture I have from Christmas morning-SAD, I know! I don't know what I was doing...obviously NOT taking pictures!Christmas night Honey and Ella baked a cake for Jesus' birthday and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to Him.
Ella, Boppa and Sassy, who was sitting there only by force!



And, I can't forget to mention the night after Christmas Matt and I went bowling with John, his girlfriend, Zach and one of his friends. I don't have pictures of that either, but we had a blast! And, I am proud to say that I lost BOTH games even after everyone else had stopped trying! Oh, well! Never said bowling was a forte of mine, but it was fun just the same! I also got to fit in some shopping with my mom, which is always nice!





Matt's family came in town for New Year's. It was nice to visit with them as well.

Ella, MeMe and PaPa in the playhouse that Santa brought her. We're not sure what Santa was thinking when he bought this other than he must have just gotten excited while at Toys R Us and he knew how much she would love it. We don't exactly have room for a house inside our house, but I guess Santa figured we could just worry about that later. Besides, he was right...she LOVES it!!
Ariel outside her house...Belle outside her house...my mom bought Ella the Belle and Sleeping Beauty princess wigs. It's SO much more fun dressing up with the hair to go with it!
MeMe and her grandkids.

Happy 2010!!!
