Christmas Morning

Santa was very good to us this year. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he had some yummy cookies to eat.
On Christmas Eve, the three of us made some cookies for a few families we know and some for Santa. When it was time for bed, Landon and I got out the Santa plate for the cookies. As we had Ella help us get the cookies, she really wanted to eat them. So we had to have a little lesson on the arrival of Santa. After we had explained to Ella that Santa would need a snack when he came to leave her a surprise, she gaurded that plate with vigor. Any time Landon or I came to close to the plate Ella would cover the plate with her hands and say, "No! Santa's cookies!"
Santa must have been pleased with Ella, because he not only ate all the cookies, but he left a special note for her to thank her for the delicious snack.

Surprise Ella! Merry Christmas!

Ella loves her new doll house and little people. Especially the nursery, because there is a crib in that room that when you press on it you can hear the baby say, "Mama, Mama." She gets the biggest grin on her face.


Even Landon had a joyous morning.



The star of the day was definately the baby stroller, or "backpack" as Ella calls it.

What a fun Christmas. Obviously Ella was a really good girl this year to have Santa bring her such neat presents.
