We had such a fabulous Christmas. We knew it was going to be fun, with Ella being at an age where she is really starting to get into it. But it was even better than we thought it could be, and we were ever aware of how blessed we are.
Here are the pictures....
With my girl on Christmas Eve....we always get together with my Aunt/Uncle/Cousins and have a big dinner. Then afterwards, we headed to Christmas Eve Mass.
The Veo Family :)
Ella in her pretty red dress before Church.
After Church, Christmas pj's on.....setting out the milk and cookies for Santa. So much fun :)
CHRISTMAS MORNING!
Ella checking out what Santa left in her stocking.
Her new "Laundry Center" that Santa brought her. She is always "helping" me with laundry, and has wanted her own set to play with. So cute.
I kept trying to get her to hold up what she got, but it was usually either backwards or upside down.
2 of her favorite movies......I must admit that UP is a GREAT one.
Her new dollhouse from Mama and Daddy. This thing is awesome.....I never mind when Ella asks me to play with her.....it is so cool! Dollhouses were not NEAR that cool when I was little!
Christmas love for Mama :)
And for Daddy too!
Breaking in her new princess table...
Later Christmas morning, we headed to my parents' house to have our Christmas with them. Here is Ella opening some goodies from Mimi and Papa.
This was so cool....after we were all done opening presents, my Mom had my Dad, my sister and I all sit together and open a card from her. Guess what it was? 3 tickets to the MU/KU basketball game in March in Columbia. We are so pumped. She set up a whole Dad/daughters day for us. She's the best!
Ella and cousin Candice, while celebrating with Tom's family. I didn't have near as many pictures...but we had a great time.
Ok, and because everyone keeps asking...a belly pic. This is 37 &1/2 weeks. I will be 38 weeks tomorrow. We are so excited for this little man to arrive. Definitley ready to not be pregnant anymore, but I know it is short lived now! We will keep you posted on his arrival, and our next post will probably be his big introduction!
Hope you all had as blessed a Christmas as we did. It was wonderful time spent with family and loved ones, just as it should be. Hope everyone had a good New Year's as well, wishing you all much happiness in 2010. We'll see you soon with our big announcement!
