Christmas Time.... 10 Months and Growing...

Angel baby...
 
CHRISTMAS TIME!
10 months
 
 

 
 

Christmas is always one of the most exciting times of the year, but with a kid it is even more magical and special.  Not that Ellie knew the different between Christmas and Halloween, but the holidays are always soo much fun with family.  I took off a few more days from work since I was ending my job with the Department of Revenue after almost 9 years there and starting a new job with the Education Lottery.
 
Being home with her for a couple of days was so much fun!David was able to take off some time and we realized we had the whole childcare mixed up….Amber should be paying us to take care of our angel baby ;).She is a happy baby and loves attention – wonder where she gets that from?!?!
 




 

Ellie also got to celebrate Christmas for two days straight!  We celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve at the Cook’s and Laura and Shawn were in town and got to play with Ellie, too.  Hannah and Nathan were so sweet to Ellie all day and Ellie even got to match her older cousin with their snowman outfits… They were too cute!  And Nathan was right there beside them just as sweet…  Ellie is pretty lucky to have so many cousins that love her so much, and shower her with attention and toys!  Hand-me-downs are the BEST!
Ellie found her name on Santa's good list :)
 
 

CHRISTMAS DAY! Santa came to see Ellie…  And she was a good girl.  Ellie got some toys, clothes, books and of course a teddy bear or two.  It was fun watching her army crawl to the presents and attempt to unwrap/eat the wrapping paper.
 
 
 

After we had our family time at home (which was amazing!). We ventured to Greenville to see the entire crazy Howard Clan.  Chaos!  The loft looked amazing and smelt like Christmas, right down to the boiled custard.  Ellie got to see all 6 cousins  Howard cousins and the opening of presents was almost  overwhelming but entertaining to say the least!  Presents were opened food was eaten and Ellie was out!   Baby girl was just exhausted by the end of the second day and slept all the way back home and all night to let Mom and Dad sleep in the next day.  (MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US!)
 James and Ellie are besties!
