MeRrY ChRiStMaS!

Good thing Santa found us at Mimi and Papa's! Kyson and Jack were both so excited to get the same worms in their stockings! It was so much fun for the kids to be together on Christmas morning! They loved showing each other what Santa brought them.
Camree is obsessed with babies! So we weren't surprised when Santa brought her a baby!
Kyson got a remote control truck!
Camree with a new baby bed. Anything to do with babies and she is happy!
Camree helping Papa open his presents too! The kids loved having Mimi and Papa there on Christmas morning.

After opening presents we got ready for all of the cousins to come over for breakfast. Just as we were about to eat we heard a knock at the door. Guess who it was? Santa! Can you believe he came and saw us after being up all night delivering toys! We must be some of his favorites! This year the kids got to tell Santa thank you for all of their toys instead of asking.
Camree wasn't so sure she wanted to sit on his lap but she was brave and did it any way. She warmed up and even gave him a hug goodbye!
All of the Ellingson cousins! There are 11 all 6 and under(and the 12th was born a few days later!). Ya it is a bit crazy when we are all together but we love the craziness!
The two who started all of this craziness!
After Santa left we had breakfast. Eggs ala golden rod, yum!
Then we opened presents. Mimi made game quilts for everyone. We were lucky and were the only ones to have ours completely finished. Mimi spent so many hours and we are so glad to have such an awesome gift! We have already spent hours playing with it! Thanks Mimi and Papa we love it!
Kyson and Jack dressed up in some of the costumes that Mimi and Papa got from Santa.
That night we were all going to go over to Auburn and Dave's for dinner but Cannon woke up from his nap with pink eye. We decided we didn't want it to spread between all of the cousins so we picked up some food and went over to Spencer and Kristie's. The weather was so nice we had to get a picture outside!
We had such a good Christmas and loved sharing it with all of our family. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

It was so fun catching up on your blog. Your Christmas looked so fun--I love that Santa came over on Christmas morning. Sammie got the same baby crib for her babies a couple years ago!

You are a GOOD mom for doing the scales and tails party. I could barely look at the pictures!
