Holiday Medley

We had a happy, healthy, and busy holiday season. Here's Ella playing with her first Chanukkah gift (a big DoodlePro that she adores) just before enjoying one of the last nights of opening the advent calendar that Sara & John gave us.


The advent calendar has made Ella a chocolate junky!


Ella loved lighting the Chanukkah candles every night. She desperately wanted to light them herself . . . maybe in a few years.












A Duplo block set was one of her favorite holiday gifts.

Baby Abby's new pajamas, another favorite gift, match Ella's pretty well.












On Christmas morning, when the whole family was home together, we baked "special cake" (coffee cake) for breakfast.











Here's Rob and Ella spinning dreidels. This year they played for fun, next year they'll play for chocolate!
