Merry Christmas!

We had a very nice Christmas!

We went to church on Christmas Eve and both girls went into the candlelight service with us. Lilly loved singing and Ella loved staring at the people behind us (thankfully they got a kick out of it).

Ella wore new red shoes for Christmas. It was the first time she's worn "real" shoes and it was hysterical watching her walk in them. She usually wears a soft leather pair of slipper-type shoes.

On Christmas morning Lilly woke up 2 hours before Ella (which is normal). She was a great sport and waited almost the whole time to go downstairs to see what Santa brought. We finally decided to let her go see the things Santa didn't wrap before Ella woke up.

She was sooo excited to lay her eyes on the trampoline.

She immediately started jumping and yelling, "How did you know Santa? How did you know??"

When Ella woke up she had fun playing with her presents that Lilly opened for her. Her favorite gift was the pink chair in the background. Lilly has had the same chair and Ella loves it so for Christmas Santa brought her her very own.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Andy's already taken all the Christmas decorations (and trees) down! At least the house looks less cluttered...
