Christmas Day

We had a lovely Christmas Day. After opening a couple of presents from Santa, and some presents from each other & family, we layed low. After Ell's nap we went on a nice walk, then it was off to dinner at the Sbihli house. After Ellison went to bed for the night, Mama & Daddy drank wine & played the Wii. (Mommy's still a little sore).Our little Munchkin checking out the presents under the tree.

Wrestling around with the GARGANTUAN bear Titi Ana bought her.

A new bed for her babies

Mookie picked out matching PJs as a gift for Mommy. We're enjoying tea and crumpets with E's new tea set from Grandma & Papa.

Daddy's turn

I think I gave birth to another child. Ellison got a new baby doll from Santa that you actually feed baby food and a bottle (with real water). She then will seriously poop and pee on the potty, and tell you when she has to go. (We had no idea she was so complicated - there are actual instructions on how to potty train her! As if potty training one toddler isn't enough...). Anyway, Ellison loves her - we haven't done the "real" stuff with the doll yet (not a bad idea when she's a teenager), but Ellison's having a blast changing her diaper over and over, and listening to her talk and suck from the empty bottle.

Ellison enjoying one of Mommy's presents. My sweet in-laws know I love Florecitas, so they sent me a giant container of them for Christmas. It was Ellison's first time trying them, and needless to say, she's a girl after my own heart.
