Christmas Preparations

We avoided the chaos of shopping on the morning of Black Friday. I wasn't about to take my only child out with those crazy people. So we had a relaxing morning as Ellison's aunts started pulling out some decorations for Christmas and the Christmas trees got put up, which was perfect entertainment for the Mookster. In the evening, the 3 of us plus Aunt Marie & Aunt Ana ran to the mall for a little while.Ellison loves to look at pictures. She still says, "More see 'em", and it wasn't any different when Jon's sisters were wippin' out old photos.

"Yeah, it was hard work, but I feel such a sense of accomplishment!"




"C'mon Titi Marie - you totally have a bare spot over there!"




Ell loves ladders, despite her neurotic former-ER-nurse mother.

Abuelo scooped her up to give her a hug and kiss. :)


During our shopping excursion, Daddy spotted a Yankees hat that he absolutely had to buy for his daughter. "I have to buy her her first Yankee's hat!". Ellison wouldn't go without it for a while - she puts it on backwards and just goes about her business. It looked especially cute with the pink pearl necklace she had to have on one morning.



Titi Marie let her decorate the little feather tree all by herself
