Christmas and New years

Oh my! A new post is definitely needed! Sorry folks.

So, Christmas...

Elliott's first! It was so fun to watch him, Ella and Hayes open their presents. Though, like most babies, Elliott was more interested in the wrapping paper than the gifts. Why do we waste so much money on presents AND paper, the paper is enough to please them for days.

But first, Christmas eve...

Ella was so beautiful in her little lady lingerie!

So beautiful in fact, that Hayes decided they needed to dance.

Yes, Elliott's PJ's have Christmas sock monkeys on them. I couldn't resist!

remember a while back when we posted that video of Elliott in the Family history library? Well, SANTA had the great idea to get Elliott his very own computer key board. He told me he got it at DI, clever Santa.

And then my camera died. I seriously took no more pictures the rest of the break.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. A lot of my family from my dad's side came to spend the holidays with us. It was a very nice visit! Elliott enjoyed them all thoroughly!

And now, for gifts. Elliott mostly received books and clothes, surprisingly enough. But he loves books, and he apparently loves ruining whatever he's wearing, so it all works out nicely!

Preston and I FINALLY got a GPS! I love it already! So helpful AND now we can go geocaching!

I also got an iPod speaker dock that I have wanted for a few years now. But the one I got isn't what I had in mind, it's WAY nicer! I LOVE it! I have such a wonderful husband! You would be so surprised how much cleaner my house is now that I can listen to music while I work. Good stuff.

And Preston got a Ping Pong dining table set. Sound weird? Well, it's not. It's great! Its a Ping pong set that will fit any dining room table! We have been playing like mad!

And as for new years, we spent it at Brooke and Vernon's playing Wii! I had never played it before. And, to be honest, I like it. A lot. Especially the mario bros. game! Brings back so many memories! New years always makes me think of my dear friend Lisa. Just about every year since we were 5 or 6 we have spent new years together, sipping bubbly (sparkling grape juice/cider) and pretending to get tipsy. I really missed lease and her family this year.

I hope ALL of you had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year! Now, if I could just train myself to write 2010 on checks, I would be in business.
