Christmas Eve.......

Yipeeeee! The best news came this morning, no 5am phone call. I was cancelled at work and got to enjoy the day with my family.
Did some stuff around the house, Ella enjoyed some park time, and then time to get ready for church.
After mass, we headed to my parents and after a quick dinner, we opened our family gifts!
Let's just say we ended up with a car full of toys and tired kids!

Logan LOVES to feed people....Here he is sharing his cookie with Auntie Suz
Ella and Grams......

Jack LOVED his nerf gun!
Ella really LOVES build-a-bear these days and this lucky girl got a Bear-armoire from her aunties/uncles......even had some new clothes, shoes, and undies for her furry friends
Logan got a great little keyboard that actually has some popular 'pop' songs on it.....yipee!
Thanks Auntie Renee and Uncle Kenny
Ella had to try out her brother's new rocking doggy........I have a feeling between the two of them this toy is going to get ALOT of use! Thanks Grams and Papa!
Logan LOVED his new mini coupe! BEEP BEEP! Thanks Auntie Suz, Uncle Pat, and Jack
Look at the GINORMOUS bow!
Gotta love the stocking goodies.
Ella couldn't wait to try her lollipop.....
Silly Uncle Kenny steals a lick!
And then Logan got to try out his new 'truck'......super cute!
It is a ride on and a big push toy.......
He loves that it makes noises.....
Thanks Grams and Papa! Thanks to Uncle Kenny for assembling!

It was a whirlwind of present opening and craziness!
Wish I would have gotten some more pics........ I thought I had taken more....always tomorrow
Ella and Logan fell asleep in the car and as hard as we tried to wake Ella up (as she had requested) so she could put the goodies out for Santa and Rudolph, we just couldn't do it!
She was SOUND asleep, but I took some photos as proof!

My parents neighbor, Tom, makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies.
Ella loves them and had asked him if he would make some for her to leave Santa.
Thanks Tom for not only making Santa cookies but for making some extras for us!!!!
