So, This is Christmas...

We hope Santa found your houses this year...he found ours with a little help from our magic reindeer food, of course (oats and sparkles)....



As some might know, all Ellie wanted for Christmas was a baby sister...although that wasn't a possibility this year, Santa did some last minute shopping and found her this:


Ellie got a motion sensored baby and all new baby gear.


Not only did Ellie get her motion sensored baby doll, but she also got a swimming baby, and the "black baby in Grandma and Grandpa's closet" (yes, somebody found a couple of her presents a little too early).

Photo of Shaneequa and Crystal taken by photographer extrodinaire...Ellie. Crystal was my baby when I was a little girl.
On top of the babies Santa gave her, Ellie got a doctor kit from Grandma and Grandpa and doctor dress up from Mom and Dad...


Grandma GiGi gave her Little Lady Lingerie (don't worry, more on this later) and jumping shoes (I've tried them out, and they are fun!!). Ellie also got oodles of new clothes and shoes (she is growing like a weed!!).

Dan got some new golf clubs (2006 Callaways), and Ellie picked out these new pajamas for him (even though I wanted to get him some more long sleeved shirts)...


As for me, I got a ton of new clothes and shoes for student teaching (no turtlenecks...I will not be called Velma again...).

We hope you all had a great Christmas. Dan and I reflected a lot this year, and we feel truly fortunate to have our health, family, friends and each other. We are grateful for our Savior and the many blessings we have received by being members of the LDS faith.
