Christmas Surprise

For the holidays this year, we stayed home. It was the first Christmas in years that we didn't go anywhere to be with family - weird! My parents had plans to come visit us a few days after Christmas. But...

Steve secretly planned the best Christmas surprise - they showed up at our house Christmas Eve! My parents, my brother, and my aunt Jane all came and spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with our little family. It was so special!

 Uncle Jake - he was lucky enough to open baby boy's presents and stocking

Ellie's favorite toy so far: a baby doll stroller

Ellie was in heaven with all those extra people to dote on her. She flitted from one person to another and one electronic device to another. We just relaxed, read our books, played games, and ate delicious food for two days.
