Ella's First Christmas!

For the first time in a long time I can honestly say Christmas was great! Ella slept through most of it but everyone loved to see her and she was spoiled like crazy. She met Santa Clause on Christmas Eve and it was adorable!
I have long hated this holiday but I am seeing it differently through this little girl's eyes. It is exciting to think about teaching her about Santa, all the Christmas eve anticipation waiting for the morning and making cookies to leave for the reindeer. I started out the season not even wanting to put up a tree and now I am sad to take it down.
I think I am turning over a new Christmas leaf :)
Here are some Christmas pictures of my sweet girl....
