The first of many Christmas celebrations began with our own small family on December 21. We were planning on going to Farmington on Saturday morning and would be there through Christmas day, so Santa had to visit Ellie at her own home a little early.

Her favorite present of the evening was most definitely the car, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Traci, and cousins Ian & Hannah sent from Arizona. She cried when Daddy had to turn it over to put its wheels on, because that meant she wasn't able to sit it in for five minutes of the evening. She even had her breakfast in the car the next morning.
