We celebrate Christmas on Sat-Sun, Dec 21-22 since we have people coming to spend a few days with us on Dec 25.

Ella wants grandmama and Pop to wear Santa hats for a picture,

then Bridget, too.

A hug for Aunt Bridget, visiting from Texas.

Els wants to take a picture of mommy. Not bad for a 4-year-old!

Presents!

Among the first opened - a precious rain coat.

Then, she gets a leopard dress.
She asked who gave it to her.

When we answered, she throws the dress down and

goes to hug Pop,

then Lolly.

Hugs for grandmama after a gift,

then she opens something from cousin Megan, so gives the hug to

Aunt Bridget.

Another hug for Grandmama.

Concentration...

Grandmama covers Ella's eyes as another present is brought up to her...

A Lego table!

Family pic, as we get ready to open something...

Awesome! Sillhouettes of Jill and Ella as little girls.

Marble racing!

Bill and I are excited about Ella getting this present. We have as much fun as her.

Bridget, too!

Grandmama gets a last pic of Ella in front of the tree, then it is off to bed.
(Santa comes tonight!)
