what a great holiday list! i love the picture of ella's face in the christmas picture and at six flags, so cute!
So many fun pictures. I love the first one..you should send that in somewhere. It is perfect for Christmas. Your girls are so darling. We are glad you guys had a wonderful holiday.
Love the lists! Sounds like Ella had a great time in bathrooms with treats! haha! Your girls are so cute!
Off the subject but I know you are a reader, have you read the A Great and Terrible Beauty series? I'm reading the 3rd and final book now (it just came out) and was wondering you had been into this series & what you thought.
I love Ella's faces! They are so cute. She is such a funny girl and reminds me so much of someone else I know ;) It looks like you guys had such a great Christmas with your family, and I love the lists. I was also laughing about Ella locking herself in the bathroom with treats, what a smart girl :)
lauren- you guys look like you had such a fun christmas. it makes me want to come and spend the holiday with you next year :) your girls are so cute. the pictures of ella are priceless. i love how kids are so open with their emotions! also, i would love the drink recipe, please share.
Did we miss out on the carolling???? Macy is sitting on my lap right now screaming "Ella!!! ELLA!!!" You might be able to hear her! :)
what a great idea ...doing lists. I love the first picture of Ella and then the one where she's crying...so sad but so cute that she cried when family had to leave! looks like you had a wonderful christmas full of much fun and merriment. Your girls are adorable...and getting so big!!
LOVE the concise highlights! My favs were all of the "eating" ones. Hilarious!
Yea, out with the special drink recipe! Kelli and I take our Christmas beverages very seriously. One of my favorite gifts this year was a Choco-latte machine - MMMMmmmm - nothing like a good holiday beverage on tap.
And how did you ever get your family to come out for Christmas, Lauren? Is the six flags close by? I'm wondering where Stephen slept on Christmas Eve. I happen to know from my past experience sharing sleeping quarters with Steve that he really appreciates his personal space. Although, I suspect that living in a place called Flower Mound is slowly breaking Stephen down into quite a warm fuzzy type of guy!
