Advent Calendar - Day #25 {Merry Christmas!}

We spent Christmas morning together as a family opening presents and eating our traditional breakfast of Stars.  We also called and said Merry Christmas to many family members before we headed to Chris' cousin's house for Christmas dinner.

We also completed our Advent Wreath by reading Isaiah 9:1-6.

For Elianna, it was the year of dress up stuff.  She got outfits and accessories and all kinds of fun stuff to play dress up with.  It's pretty much all she has played with since Christmas.  This Christmas I also decided to make most of the Christmas presents we gave to Elianna and Chris's nieces and nephews.  I sewed my very first project {since my traumatic experience in junior high school HomeEc Class} of baby doll diapers for Elianna's babies.  They turned out pretty cute!

Christmas is pretty much all about pictures so indulge!  {Note to self for next year:  Get a picture of Elianna with all her Christmas presents (just like your mom used to do when you were growing up).}

For some strange reason, Elianna likes to hang out in Chris' cousin's dog's (Toby) cage.
