Someone was a Good Girl!

Ella Kate was super excited when she went to sleep on Christmas Eve to see her presents the next morning. She WAS NOT super excited at the thought of the guy in the big red suit coming into her house while she was asleep. We told her not to worry because we would have Santa just leave her gifts outside and we would move them in later for her. That seemed to ease her mind!

Ella Kate asked for three things this year. This list never changed over the span of several months. The list included a baby, a purple owl, and paper clips. Yep, paper clips. When we went to visit Santa, he said that it was the first time in all of his many years to have such a request. Go figure!
Santa did leave her a few other new goodies as well including Cinderella's castle complete with all the Disney princesses and their Prince Charmings. Who's excited? This mama!!! I love Disney!!!! Kay Kay and G even got EK a ton of Disney movies too like The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, and more!!! I can't wait!!!!!! We did have to hide the Beast. EK said he was mean and he could not be in the castle.

Everyone needs new panties in their stocking, right?
Ella Kate climbed in her daddy's lap after playing for a bit and said, "I want to tell Santa thank you." How sweet is that! We told her we would write him a thank you note and mail it to him.

Merry Christmas my little monkey!
You think this little girl loves her daddy? Lately, she has become the BIGGEST daddy's girl! I don't think he minds!!!
I was even able to snag a quick picture before church. We had a super fun morning and it was so special to get to go to church on Christmas morning. We had a great service with our incredible church family and then hit to road for Madison. More pictures to come!
