Merry Christmas!!

This year was one fun and exciting Christmas for our family! Nothing makes the holidays more fun than little children who are overly excited about everything Christmas! Techniqually Ellie had no clue it was "Christmas" but I do think she felt all the anticipation and excitement coming from her siblings! We were so lucky to have Pa and Grandma Joanne come into town for a week, it made the holiday even more fun. We stayed very busy, looking at Christmas lights, going to see Frosty the Snowman play @ Casa Manana theatre, eating dinner out, going to visit Santa, going to the Children's Museum, seeing the Chinese Lantern Festival in Dallas and most of all Christmas morning and hosting dinner for the entire Halliday family that afternoon. All the kids recieved wonderful gifts this year. Some highlights of what Ellie recieved were a sit to stand walker music toy, bath toys, clothes, teething toys, a rocking horse, and books. She loved getting to open the presents (well the ones Dylan & Abbey didnt rush over to open for her ;)) We cooked Leg of Lamb & Pork Rib Roasts for dinner and they were delish! All in all, I think Ellie enjoyed the season and we loved watching her take it all in.
