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!

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!!

Once a Coffee Lover...

...always a coffee lover!

1 year later - good thing I got some more hair!

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!
