it was a fantastic christmas...santa came and brought all kinds of wonderful things and we got together with our families on several occasions...elli got her swimming baby and her ring that she asked santa for and ralphy got great stuff, too...we are still enjoying the season (and the toys) and we aren't quite ready for it to be over...
i haven't posted any video clips in awhile, so here are a couple of us hanging out in elli's room...her version of "rudolph the red nosed reindeer" is great...some words are switched, some words are omitted, but we love it! because i goofed up, you will first need to go to the christmas slideshow below and mute the jazzy christmas tune before you play the videos...sorry...
and here is the crazy little boy..one of his favorite things to do is jump on elli's bed...he usually steals her teddy bear, too, but in this clip it is his own that he is eating!
and here is a still shot of ralphy (the video was so blurry that it was hard to tell what he even looks like!) and another of elli by "the big tree"
and a few of our big snow last weekend...ralphy didn't like as much as elli did, but he stayed out for quite awhile (it was hard for him to walk in it)...elli loved the white stuff! you wouldn't believe that we had snow, as it is 60 degrees here today...but it sounds like that will be changing within the next 24 hours, so we won't have snow for christmas, but we will have cold!
