Merry Christmas To All!

Usually our Christmas is very low key with just us and my family. This year was different as my Aunt and Uncle, Cousins, and Grandmother made it to Richmond for the Holiday! We had Christmas Eve dinner at mom and dad's before church and then visited some more afterwards. Ella thought she was a princess in her beautiful dress from her Nonna. On Christmas morning, we had breakfast and opened gifts at our house and then moved to mom and dad's house for stockings and dinner.

Ella had a great time and was especially happy to see her Aunt Brady and Uncle Dave and their puppies! I am not so sure the dogs were so happy to see her though! Ella figured out the art of opening gifts very quickly. She did poop out before we could finish opening gifts so she had to finish opening hers later in the day. Her favorite gifts included her squeaky shoes and crocs from her Nonna and Papa (she does LOVE shoes!) and her swing set from Santa Claus!
