Ella and Anna raked in the goods for Christmas! They both had a great time at our family gatherings and of course enjoyed their new toys and clothes! These girls are hopelessly spoiled.

Ella loves the kitchen, food, and dishes she got for Christmas. Every time you ask her what she is cooking, she says, "Bies!" (Fries!)

I love this picture!

Sweet smiley girl!

The family Christmas picture.

This picture made me laugh out loud. Ella loves hugging her baby sister, and Anna looks absolutely terrified!

Here is a sweeter picture of the two girlies.

Anna laughed for the first time last night! I bounced her on my knee until she was giggling and it was very cute. She laughed again today when I tickled her neck. This girlie is so smiley, I suspect she will be much more social than her big sister!

Speaking of her big sis, Ella has a new favorite place to go - the playground at the Towne Mall. She played and played this afternoon (and several other times). She wasn't even bothered by the dozens of ill-behaved boys running around and nearly plowing her down. She like to kid-watch and climb around on all the fun stuff there. We will be making more frequent trips to the playground.

Here are some pictures from November. Enjoy!

Ooh, an acorn!
