Ellison had been dying to wear her new red dress - asking to wear if every day since it found a home in her closet. To have "curly-curlies" in her hair, and her new shoes from Grandma & Grandpapa were icing on the cake.
As always, lovin' her some shoes...
Talking to Grandma on the phone before heading to church.
Playing her rendition of "Jingle Bells", singing loudly.
She just looks SOOOO old to me in this pic!
Our cheesy attempts at family self-portraits again.
After attending the Christmas Eve service, we came home and got all cozy by the fire.
The we baked some reindeer cookies for Santa and set them out with the milk. Ellison was devastated the next day to discover that we all forgot to set out the letter she made to Santa. Earlier on Christmas Eve, she suddenly popped up and said she was going to make Jesus and Santa a letter, and wrote them in her token "cursive", and decorated them with Disney princess stickers.
Going to bed wasn't much of an ordeal that night. I was just slightly panicked we weren't going to be able to use "We'll call Santa and tell him not to bring you some presents" anymore after today.
