Our Christmas!

We had a wonderful first Christmas as a family of four (or seven if you count the cats)!

 Emma's gifts

 Ella's doll house

 Emma woke up first, so we showed her some of her toys before Ella woke up.

 Checking out a "letter" that goes with her mailbox

I just love the Christmas bib I found for Emma, "Mom & Dad's Wish Come True". Last December was when we found out that Emma was on the way. :-)

 Ella was up until 11:30 PM on Christmas Eve (she was super excited), so she didn't wake up until after 9 and was still a little tired.

 The car that goes with her doll house was the first thing she started playing with.

 Ella actually picked out this pullable giraffe for Emma one day when we were shopping at Target. It's a big hit with Emma. Sister picks out great toys!

 Emma loves to chew on anything and everything right now, so this teether was also a big hit.

 Emma loves to stand with daddy's help.

 Ella was quite thrilled with the princess fork and spoon she found in her stocking.

 Alice in Wonderland!

 Ella got this Cinderella "toddler doll" from Gramma Jean (aka GJ)

This is how Ella "reads" right now. She knows this story well from the Disney Cinderella cartoon, so she tells herself the story while looking at the pictures. :-)
