2010 can come yet!



I haven't posted Christmas or any December pictures! We have had a wonderful December, and I can't believe tomorrow is New Years Eve. Is it just me, or has anyone else wondered where 2009 went? We have done some fun things in the last couple of weeks. We started by attempting to go down to Temple Square earlier in the month on a Friday night. After driving around for an hour looking for a parking place, needless to say our "Christmas spirit" wasn't so joyful anymore, so we went home. Well, we decided to make another attempt at Temple Square, but we decided to go on a Wednesday night (not as bad as a Friday, but there were a TON of YW and YM? Brennan and I don't think things through very well). It was absolutely beautiful, but this time Ella's attitude was not so pleasant. We were lucky to get 1 picture of her!


Ella enjoying a good book!

We also had a wonderful Christmas Eve, and Christmas day. Brennan and I are very lucky because my family celebrates Christmas Eve and Brennan's family celebrates Christmas day, so we never miss out! We enjoyed great food and better company! One of my favorite things however, was to have Ella get her presents from Santa. We decided that this is the last year she will not demand for something special so, we didn't go to over board with presents.

Seeing her presents for the first time!

So excited for her Einsteins!


She is attempting to smile. She doesn't quiet get it.



Do you think she likes the princess shoes? Love those cute little legs!

I have to tell you all one more things that makes Brennan and I laugh so hard. We have been showing her pictures of Santa so, she has started to recognize what Santa looks like. Well, our neighbor looks just like Santa, and one after noon she saw him outside and said, " Whatcha doin Santa?" Then, the day after Christmas, we all went to Home Depot and and we were looking at lights and a older man with a darker mustache and beard was looking at lights also and Ella turns to him and says, "Hi Santa!" He loved it. My conclusion is, she thinks anyone with a beard and mustache is Santa Claus. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!
