Merry Christmas!
Late Christmas Eve we drove to Fresno to Grandma and Grandpa Mac's house. This is what we came out to in the morning!
Auntie YaYa reading the letter from Santa
Daddy got lots of tape in his stocking :)
4 Cousins on the Couch!
On the 26th, we went to Papa and Grandma GG's house for Christmas with the whole McElroy clan...all 48 of us!
Playing with new baby...she crawls and cries!
Getting ready for bed after some long but fun days!
Merry Christmas Eve!
This year we were all at MorMor and Grampa's house!
Four Generations!
I was a good little helper handing out the gifts!
Playing with my new train with Grampa!
MorMor showed me how to do the Jack in the Box
Testing out Daddy's new hat
Christmas Eve Festivities
Santa comes early to MorMor and Grampa's house! I was very excited to see what was in my stocking!
Who would have known that a plastic slinky could be so fun!
After stockings and a yummy breakfast, Grammy and Great-Grandpa came over to play! I had fun playing the piano with Grammy!
That afternoon, we went ice skating with Uncle Tim and Auntie Brooke!
Christmas Take 2
The weekend before Christmas, we did our own Christmas with just the 3 of us since we're always on the road during the actual holidays. We all got new jammies, ate pizza, opened presents to each other and watched Frosty the Snowman. Mommy wanted to all sleep in the living room under the Christmas tree but apparently I make too much noise when I sleep and daddy needs it completely dark or he can't sleep, so mommy's idea didn't go over so well :)
hmm....if only I could read these tags!
I was VERY excited about my new plastic bracelets!!

Christmas Take 1
Last weekend we celebrated our 5th annual Christmas (#2 for Jacob and me and #3 for Eli) with the Ames and Escens. Mike & Joy used to live right above mommy and daddy in their first apartment so the celebration started then and has been a tradition ever since! This time everyone got to come to our house...we had a big slumber party and it was so much fun!
Daddy volunteered to read us all a story...good thing we're still small enough to all fit on his lap!

Christmas in the Magic Kingdom
We went on our annual McElroy Family Disneyland trip! A few years ago before mommy and daddy got married, this trip consisted of the whole family (all 30+ people) wearing matching outfits and daddy walking in the front of the group hold up a light saber so everyone knew where to go. Things have changed a little since then...the whole family doesn't go anymore, only the cousins match and now we have too many strollers to worry about following the saber :)
I love my cousin Emma!!
...I think she likes me too!
The Princess and the Frog parade is one of my favorites!
The annual family sled picture...
Minnie is way more fun to watch on TV than to see up close!

Norwegian Christmas Cookies
Mommy and I drove out to Grammy and Grandpa's house one day to make Norwegian Christmas cookies with MorMor, Grammy and Aunt Doreen.
I'm becoming quite the little baker!!
Rolling the dough with MorMor
I was the official taste taster...yummy!!
Scarves and Beanies!
Finally....cold weather! It's a good thing I'm a Southern California girl though...rain and cold weather make it not so fun to play outside!
Deck the Halls!
A few weeks ago we spent one night decorating for Christmas...
I was in charge of making the cookies!!
The finished product!

We love Saturday Mornings!!
We love Saturday mornings when there is nothing to do! After breakfast, my favorite thing is to walk to the lake, feed (or chase) the ducks and play on the playground. Right now there are lots of big leaves on the ground so those are fun to crunch too!
Rides on Daddy's shoulders are the best!
Chasing the ducks...
I've mastered making the sound of many animals recently but haven't quite figured out yet this whole posting videos thing...any suggestions on how to turn the picture so I'm not walking sideways?!?
In Everything...Give Thanks!
We spent Thanksgiving mommy's side of the family in Northridge and then drove to Palm Desert to spend the weekend. It was cold outside so we had fun staying inside playing games, watching movies and hanging out!
