Christmas!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas despite Miss Ella Kate being sick. Poor thing was diagnosed with RSV and a severe ear infection the Tuesday before Christmas. The doctor put her on a nebulizer every 4 hours and antibiotic.

Christmas Eve we had everyone over at our house and Dave served Prime Rib. I made homemade pecan pie and a good time was had by all. It was an extra special Christmas Eve b/c my sweet nephew Josh, who lives in Houston, was in town. Ella Kate loved sliding with Josh and she has not stopped saying his name. "Joshhhhhhhhhhh"

Ella Kate and Josh sliding!! They did so good taking turns.

They loved to slide. Ella Kate loves saying "slide." She loves to slide with her baby dolls and stuffed animals too.

Ella Kate introducing Josh to Teletubbies. I think he LOVED it.

Our 2009 Gingerbread house. Thanks to Nana for the extra help.

Ella Kate and Uncle Kenneth tasting the gingerbread house. Ella Kate wanted "cupcake." She calls all cakes cupcakes.

Ella Kate loved Daddy feeding her icing from the gingerbread house.

Some of the big toys Santa left for Ella Kate.

Close up of her new kitchen and special American Girl doll.

Ohhh how she loves the ball pit with slide.

As soon as she walked downstairs Christmas morning she went straight for the ball pit and wanted to Slide.

She wanted her babydoll to slide with her too.

Trying on some pants Nana gave her Christmas morning.

Cooking on her new stove. She really got into cooking and serving her babydolls.

She also loved the salt and spices with her kitchen set. She shakes salt on all the food. So funny.

I attempted to get a picture of Ella Kate with all her Christmas presents but she was so busy playing that I could never get her face. Needless to say she was spoiled rotten but it was so wonderful to see the excitement on her face.

Christmas loot.

Getting in her ball pit with her Cinderella glass slippers.

Ella Kate and cousin Josh playing at LeLe's Christmas Day afternoon.

Josh and Ella Kate each got tents and they had a blast playing in them together.

Daddy trying to put up Ella Kate's castle tent. Ella Kate was trying to help and hurry him up.

Sitting at her new table and chairs Nana gave her serving herself and her babydolls the food she "cooked."

Notice the salt shaker. She loves putting salt on her play food.

We had a Merry Christmas and hope everyone else did too!!!
