Christmas Morning

Here's a quick post on Christmas Morning. Santa brought Miss Ellie her Pink Bike as well as a few other things (including new princess dresses). Enjoy the little video! Sorry it's so dark. We'll make sure to turn the lights on next year.

Christmas Eve

Ellie and Daddy at Winter Wonderfest

Ellie and Elsa on the Dragon Ride

We had a fun day on Christmas Eve with Grammy, Grampy, Jane, Mike, Elsa, Beata, Todd and Babcia. We started the day at Winter Wonderfest and Elsa and Ellie had a great time on the many rides and slides.

Ellie probably would have had a much better time if she wasn't sick. Poor little thing spent the holidays with a very soar lip/gums/mouth. But she powered through when it came time to open presents. For some reason, she was able to deal with the pain when presents were involved.

Here's Eric with the Beef Tenderloin from Christmas Eve Dinner. Stuffed with Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach and Goat Cheese - Yummy!

Grampy was not so into the presents. He was resting up to have energy for Christmas Eve service.

3rd Annual Holiday Cookie Exchange

Meg and I hosted another fun Holiday Cookie Exchange. This year we went with a brunch time event and everyone seemed to be in a festive mood. Lots of Cookies, Food and mimosas.

Ellie and Elsa helped me during my practice run since I had never made Kolackys. It's a good thing I practiced because that first round was not pretty (tasty, but not pretty).
