What a wonderful time of the year!

Here are some shots of another one of my "at home photo shoots." We took pictures on the fence that keeps the cows in our neighbor's back yard.
This is the very best picture I could get of Ella. She was freezing and not about to do it the easy way.
This was my alternative choice for the Christmas cards. Hahaha.
I give up! She is not my ideal "client."

Ethan had a little Christmas brunch with some friends. We had his favorite- cinnamon rolls- with Christmas sprinkles and chocolate milk.

Santa came to visit us a few days early this year, because we spent Christmas day in Hawaii. Ethan and Ella loved every minute of it. We had so much fun watching them open their gifts.Ella is our little animal lover. Ethan was able to pick out something for Ella, and he chose to get her a pretend cat that really purrs and meows. Ethan knows Ella so well. She was so happy. That is her new favorite thing. She carries it everywhere. I tried to turn it off and it actually hissed at me! Hilarious.

Ella gave Ethan a new SpongeBob game for his DS. She knows him so well too- he loved it.
