Christmas in Ellensburg

Christmas Eve night we drove home from Gig Harbor so we could have Christmas in our new home and have our first Christmas morning together as a family of three. Makenna had so many other opportunities to open gifts that we thought it would be fun to have everything open and ready for her to play with when she got up Christmas morning.
We sat her on the opposite side of the living room with her back turned to her new toys. She turned around and this is her face as she squealed in excitement and crawled as fast as she possibly could to get to her new things.
Her little people farm was a hit!
Of course no new toy is properly broken in until it has been tasted.
She loves her new lap top.
And her quiet Noah's Ark toy. Perfect for church.
Thank you Great Aunt Leslie for the adorable teddy bear. She loves to snuggle with it.
After we had some great family time at home we headed over to my parents. We ate breakfast and opened gifts. She loves her little stuffed puppy from Uncle Gump.
And her little people farm accessories from Uncle Mitch.
She got her first baby doll. It even shakes and giggles.
The cutest gift ever, a Tutu!
A new book from Great Aunt Tammy and Uncle Randy. Thank you! She loves being read to!
Showing off her new toys to Nana.
Tutu buns!
Reading the night before Christmas with Papa Steve.
Thank you Mom and Dad for everything we had a great Christmas day with you!
We can't believe that Makenna is old enough that she has had her first Christmas already. Less than one month to her first birthday. 2010 has been the best year we have had so far. We had so many changes and wonderful blessings happen to us this year. Happy New Year everyone! I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for our family.
