Monday, December 19, 2011

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

Yes, I know that Christmas is only 6 days away and I should of done this post several weeks ago. I'm just going combine everything we've done these weeks into one long blog post!
Ella is somewhat "getting" Christmas this year! Her favorite thing is turning on the Christmas lights when we get home each day!

Two and half weeks ago we went to a tree farm and got a beautiful 10 ft noble.


The tree crew!
Ella and Grandma
Love that little sweet face!


A couple a nights later, Mark started a bath while I was playing with Ella in her room. She loves to run between all the rooms upstairs. The next thing I heard was a splash...
She jumped right in, clothes in all!
Naughty little Boo!

The next bunch of photos is just a little holiday tour of our house.






The Silent Night Art work was done by my super talented teaching partner Sara!

This last weekend, we hosted two parties back to back. Friday night was my staff party. It was a much needed stress reliever after a busy three weeks at school! Saturday we hosted a Pajama Christmas party for our friends. It was a blast!
Daddy and Ella in their jammies!
The Adorable Groshong Girls

Lucas looking good in his JPs!
Dakota was scooting along in her cute piggies!
These cute triplets eating Christmas treats!
Ella and her buddies- they are all within a year of each other.
They had a blast running around upstairs, Ella was the little ringleader!

Santa made an appearance this year again..
While Dakota had no problem sitting on Santa's lap...
Ella was not so sure of him.
In fact she was...
Terrified!
I'm such a mean mommy!
She was still mad at me for making her sit on Santa's lap.

But she ended the night happy,
because she got to snuggle with sweet Addie!
She loves her Babies!

I'm so excited to be off these next two weeks with my sweet little Ella Boo! The list of things to do is very long. My goal is to get half of them done:) Merry Christmas Everyone!
