Now what?

The worst part about Christmas time is when it all ends. You wake up the next day with nothing to look forward to anymore except just spending more time with your family. Then one by one people start to head home and face the real world again and this over-crowded, out of control crazy house is silent. I am sitting where while my sick husband naps, my baby naps, my tired out mother-in-law naps and the house all of the sudden feels very large and empty. Kind of depressing. Kind of peaceful. I am torn. But luckily it is not all over for me... I still have another week to look forward too. On Tuesday I am going to visit my parents who just barely moved to Centerville. They are not yet in their house so I will get to spend some time with my grandparents too and Ellee can get a bit aquainted with her Great Grandparents and reaquainted with Grammy Dette and Papa Walt. Yippee!

Well, I'd might as well post a few pictures from the first half of our Christmas adventure... enjoy!

Santa Baby


Hurray! No crying baby on Santa's lap! This time next year though I am sure she will be screaming! Devn's school had a party for the all the little elves. Ellee is too little to go play all the games but just little enough for her proud dad to show her off to everyone! Most people were just impressed that Devn could have anything to do with such a good looking baby! I think you're very handsome Devn... don't let anyone make you feel otherwise! Even if our kid is disproportionately cuter than her parents! Oh well... good for us!
