We have a name

This is Ella's new baby she got for Christmas.

We asked Ella the baby's name and she said Jimmi.

Jimmi is Sara's fiance.

Christmas Wrap Up

Christmas Eve we had my family here at our house with our friends Anne , Dave and their son Tim. Ella racked up with a bean bag, activity center, and a baby doll and stroller. We made an oven roast which was our first time and turned out a little dry despite removing it from the oven 20 minutes early. After dinner we played a game of catch phrase which is always a good time.

Next Mike and I had Ella all to ourselves on Christmas morning. Ella of course wanted to eat before getting into her loot.

Later on Christmas Day we went to the lake to celebrate with Mike's side of the family.

Christmas Tour

I have seen other blogs do a Christmas Tour. So I thought I would since I really don't have anything else to blog about.

This is a t-shirt I made Ella yesterday. I know it is kinda of late to make Christmas t-shirts but I thing it turned out really cute.
I hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas!

Our Christmas Card this year

Marking things off the list

Friday Mike and I finally had a will drawn up which is something we have been meaning to do just never got around to. Then today I put our Christmas cards in the mail. That is right I mailed the cards and actually love the picture we used. Thank you Mary for taking the picture Sunday. You will have to check back after Thursday to see the Christmas card. I will scan it in after everyone has had a chance to receive theirs.

Here are a few pictures I considered using for a Christmas Card.
