We had a great Christmas this year - our first one with Ellie. Even though Ellie doesn't really "get" the meaning of Christmas quite yet, it was fun to experience Christmas with her. Jesus' birth! Such an amazing gift. I can't wait for next year when she'll understand a little more.
This year, we got to spend time with Nick's family on the 18th (sorry, I have no pics!), spent Christmas Eve just the three of us (really special!), and then went to the Dallas area to be with my family on Christmas day and for a few days afterward. My parents took us to Great Wolf Lodge as our Christmas gift and it was really fun to be there with everyone. At Great Wolf Lodge, Ellie had a great time with her Cobb cousins and splashing around in the baby pool (even though it freaked her out at first). My highlights this Christmas were spending Christmas Eve as a family, opening gifts with Ellie, getting to go to our church, and seeing Ellie with all of her cousins at both the Smith and Cobb Christmas celebrations.
Here's a video and some pictures from Christmas 2010!
Here is a video of Ellie during the Smith family Christmas. She loved being in the middle of all the present unwrapping and cousin craziness! Her cousin Brianna took a little bow and put it on her head, and she crawled around obliviously.
