A few videos from Christmas day...

Christmas 2010--we enjoyed some snow at Noni and Lito's house, although Ellery rode the sled one time and wanted to watch from then on. It wasn't a bad ride, but she is just no daredevil. She didn't mind posing for most pictures, but you will see a bad face or two when she was just not sure about the whole snow thing. She enjoyed her new presents, and she enjoyed visiting with the Kalanys. The biggest thing she seems to have gotten for Christmas is words--she is using 2-3 word sentences and trying to talk as much as she can.

Christmas sisters--Ellery adores her little sister, and they both wore their Christmas dresses to church yesterday. Had to snap these pictures while they were both cooperating.

Ellery's visit to Santa--on Saturday Dec 4th we went to Elan's school to visit Santa and have breakfast. Ellery was scared at first but Santa had some good tricks with some bells and a book. She was willing to at least let mommy get out of the picture but not willing to sit on his lap. Daddy took one other picture the other night, and this face was too good not to post. Look at those eyes!

Ellery had a lot of fun when Noni and Lito came to visit after the birth of Ellia. They decorated cookies together. She has some nice morning hair in one picture.

The first video shows Ellery most recent boo-boo on her eye when she pulled a stocking hanger down on herself. Christmas decorations can be hazardous! It also gives a glimpse into her talking these days which is funny at times. The other videos are of the new playset the kids got for Christmas. Anthony had a fun weekend putting it together. Thanks to the grandparents for the great gift!
