Holiday Fun!

For turkey day we went to my Aunt Donna's house after we ate with Ryan's family.

This is what happened when we went in the door!

I found it so funny that everyone swarmed the door to see the baby, I ran and got my camera and took a photo from the stairs. Ella- you are a star!

I had a gift certificate for fondue, so I took the girls for a much needed girls night. It was GOOD! (besides Heather fainting at the table...)

Ella saw her 1st santa at the Coleman's Christmas party, she smiled and didn't cry. I don't think she even knew what was going on. Maybe next year?

Trying on her Christmas outfit at home. We (me) decided on a black bow for photo day- ahhhh the decisions you have to make as a girl!

Her Christmas photo at 3.5 months old. Cute stuff!

Ella on her first snowy day in December getting warmed up by the warm laundry from the dryer. I just kept piling the clothes on and she couldn't get enough.

Annual Friends Holiday Party- this year's theme- ugly sweaters. Ryan was sick and stayed home. :o( I took Ella and put her to bed in Candi's room.

Alison (8.5 mo pregnant), Erin (fresh off a cruise to Bahama's), me (tired, pale, and out of shape ha ha)

Another pic with Lindsay

Wreath party at our house- stole this idea from some friends of mine in Utah. Everyone loved how they turned out and was glad I put it together.

And we had fun in my "craft room/laundry room"!

Aunt Donna, Me, Lindsay (preggo), and Katie (Erin was there too but left earlier)

For the rest of the holiday season we have Christmas Eve at our house in 8 days with Ryan's family. We're making steaks this year! Christmas Eve we'll also go to Linda's house for the Swedish Christmas at noon. Christmas Day, we'll go to my mom's at 9 am, then Aunt Nena's at 2- Rob and Jenny are going to that also, so that will be fun. Pictures to follow. :o)
