Ellie's 1st Christmas



I was so excited to celebrate Christmas this year. Ellie has made everything so much more exciting and Christmas was no exception. We woke up a little later than usually around 7:30, thats when Ellie decided to wake up and then we headed upstairs to open our stockings. Ellie wasn't to sure what was going on and as we opened gifts she was much more interested in sucking on bows and eating the paper than many of her gifts. She did make out pretty well for her first Christmas and got a Bee Bop Band Drum with a bunch of different rattles, The Jungle Book, a Tickle Me Elmo, and a few new outfits. All the rattles went straight to her mouth and she was not quite sure about Elmo.


Another great addition for Christmas was the snow, it was our first family white Christmas, me being from Vegas we didn't see a lot of snow. After opening gifts and a nap, we went out to play in the snow. Ellie loved it until we got back inside and she figured out she couldn't feel her hands anymore.

I totally agree with you. They really have no clue what is going on but something about having a child there makes it so much better. It looks like Ellie made a haul.
