Dad and Ella checked the water under the tree every night together.
Our sweet friends the Lowerys threw a Santa breakfast while they were all in town. It was such a fun get together. And Cam and Ella had a ball together!
We took Ella to see Santa at Utica Square. She was frozen on his lap—not too happy with Mom and Dad! No tears though. Just "the look."
Ella is AWESOME at her new stacking blocks from Papa Banjo and Liz.
Ella was so proud to show off her new Arkansas shirt from Liz. Look at that face!
We had a great Christmas Eve day with Papa Banjo.
Off to mass on Christmas Eve with E sporting her Missoni for Target dress. Quite the fashionista!
Post-mass at Coco's with Aunt Lizzy!
It was a Christmas morning to remember! Ella was bright-eyed and so into her new toys—to the point where we still haven't opened all of her presents because she just wanted to play and play and play with the first ones she opened! Love that girl.
Tearing into her new Color Wonder finger paints.
She kept chanting "open, open, open" for each packaged toy so she could play with it right away!
Ella is our puzzle-master! Here she's working her new ocean puzzle from the Aquarium.
And, of course, it wouldn't be a proper Christmas without a fit or two. ;)
Christmas morning with Papa Banjo's side of the family (and my 9-month preggo belly).
Christmas afternoon at Coco's, trying on her new fleece!
Thanks, Coco!!!
Lizzy and Ella at the aquarium while Liz was home for Christmas break.
Ella's first art project—tissue paper on contact paper taped to our front door. Quite the budding artist!
