Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas day.  It started with us coming down and seeing what Santa brought.  Ellie was incredibly excited, and woke up before Tommy that morning.  After I told her she needed to wait for Tommy to wake up before going down to see if Santa had come, she said "Well, Mom, one of you can stay up here and wait for Tom and the other one needs to take me down to see if Santa has been here".  Tommy woke up in short order, and we were off to a busy day of present opening and visiting with family.

Great look on her face after opening a gift in the beginning.

This was Ellie's big present...a princess castle

Pretty fun

We went to John and Amber's that night for dinner, Tommy played near Ellie's princesses (yes, all 7 of them made the trip).
