Merry Christmas from Ella the Elf

Since its Christmas Eve, its time we say goodbye to Ella the Elf! 

Ella left a note for the kids and let them know that Santa had lifted her magic so they could give her hugs and kisses!

.

After being so patient for so long, 

since we aren't allowed to touch Ella, 

Wavy was so excited to love on her! 

Harlan had a turn to tell Ella Merry Christmas too! 

We will see you next year, Ella!

Thanks for being our good elf! 

Here comes Santa Clause...

Santa visits every year at me-maw's and pe-paw's.  

Harlan was more curious and ready to open presents, 

but Wavy was shy. 

She opened her gifts in Momma's lap while Santa handed out gifts. 

Harlan was so excited that Santa was playing with him!

We had to take the family Christmas picture with Santa!

And then Wavy got a special hug from pe-paw! 

'Tis the Season to be Jolly

Christmas Eve at Baby Gail's!

We had a nice visit with Josh and Allison, and baby Walker!

Uncle Zak was there too!  

Baby Gail was loving on all her grand kids!

Then it was time to open some presents!

The kids were loving the chaos!

Waverly was tickled to get her toys, especially the buggies on a log.  

She is very into little toys right now, so this was perfect! 

Of course, maybe we should have just given her a big box to play in.  

Harlan had fun playing with his new work truck, 

complete with hammers and a wrench and other tools. 

The maracas were the best.  The kid had a blast playing and visiting with family!

Sprinkles

I love Christmas baking of all sorts! 

Wavy wanted to help, so we did a no-bake treat! 

Campfire marshmallows dipped in chocolate, 

and then coated in sprinkles.  

Wavy loves sprinkles! That was her favorite part. 

She ate more sprinkles than she put on the marshmallows. 

That's my girl.

Dr. Wavy

Meet Dr. Wavy...

She's a relatively new physician, 

and is still learning the ropes. 

She will ask, 

"Is this your heart?" while listening to random body parts like your forehead or an elbow. 

She answers, too.  "Nooooo.  Is this your heart?" 

"Noooo....."

She always gets there in the end though.  

"Your heart sounds good".  

I think with a smile as gorgeous as this, 

she should take up dentistry.
