We wish you a Merry Christmas

This month was crazy and exciting all at the same time. We had things planned every weekend and kept very busy. We went to the Holiday lights at the Columbus Zoo, a Charles Dickens Christmas at the Ohio Village, and Billy and Lisa spent time in Colorado. Christmas Eve and Day came much quicker than planned, but turned out to be the most wonderful day. Ella had an adorable sleeper to wear, until she wet herself and her sleeper. Santa came and brought Ella lots of presents. We thought for sure it would take Ella a long time to open her gifts, but once she got started she was an unwrapping fool. Ella especially loves the rocker toy that her Grandpa Chuck got her. Ella has started sitting up on the couch on her own and does not care to sit with us. She loves her stuffed toys and is often giving them hugs and kisses. Santa brought her a lap top for Christmas and she loves to sit with it and pretend to work on it. Ella is also starting to take steps (without help) and walks great with help!

After the family left we sat on the couch as a family and watched the Polar Express. It was nice just spending quiet time as a family. We had an amazing first Christmas and are now preparing to get everything planned for Ella's first birthday. It is hard to believe that in five weeks our little girl will be one year old! We see her growing and doing more and more each day and wonder were the time has gone!
