Sneaky Sneaky... Ellie loves being sneaky and enjoys getting in trouble. She esp likes other people's toothbrushes (good thing i have plenty of those), toothpaste (at the babysitters house which im not happy about), chapstick, and markers. Whenever opportunity arises to do something naughty, she is right on it. The last pic is her getting in my makeup drawer and looking at me like "what?"



Ellie loves dressing up. She likes my clothes, chris's clothes, all shoes and sunglasses, and almost anything that can go around her neck as a necklace. This kid is all girl!

Our Christmas Day went well. Ellie slept in which is great because she usually doesn't. Grandma and Grandpa gave her her very first cabbage patch doll which she still plays with. Even Sadie the dog loved it. She loves opening presents for some reason and has to help anyone who is in the process of tearing paper. It was so nice to be home and be able to hang out with the family and relax.












On Christmas Eve we flew home and I wish i had gotten this picture in focus! (sidenote: Chris is walking next to her. She's not wandering the airport unattended) salt lake city waiting to go to Spokane and by this point Ellie was tired and needed some juice. She was a trooper though and we finally made it just before they shut the airport due to all the snow. When we got to my parents we had dinner and opened our pajamas that my Grandma Roeller makes every year. We all look forward to a new pair of pj pants and I was so excited when i found that Ellie got some too! Thanks Grandma!







Since we went to CDA for christmas, we had our own celebration before. Ellie's favorite part of the whole thing was all the candy. I made the mistake of letting her open her stocking first which had all the candy in it. She wasn't too interested in anything else after that. After prying the box of Nerds from her hands i helped her open her zillion presents. There was a diaper accident in the middle of the whole process which is why there are so many changes of clothes. The house was covered with toys, wrapping paper, and boxes but it was a good start to our holiday.
