Lately, Ella has taken to carrying a purse everywhere. It is great for me, because I hate carrying a purse and she is more than willing to have my camera in there or a chap stick. It is funny what becomes the best gift of Christmas. We decided this year to only give fun stuff. Last year, we wrapped a bunch of stuff that the kids needed, like tooth brushes and boots, and let's face it ~ that is just not that fun.
So this year, we decided not to get any clothes. What was one of Ella's favorite gifts? A sweater from Tom and Jenny. *g*
It does look nice on her, tho, huh?
Declan loves his Piccachu, even tho Santa did not have time this year to build it in his workshop with actual lightning bolts coming out. We read a great Christmas book this year about lists to Santa and the kinds of gifts we *want* vs the kinds of gifts we will really *enjoy* called My Penguin Osbert. It is pretty cute. Declan was delighted with everything he got.
We had a really cool moment when Ella gave away some of her soap, and Declan went on and on about how good she was at making soap, and how it was glycerin and so you needed to keep it out of the way of running water, and how Ella was able to add all kinds of "flavors" to the soap.
Sweet. He sure does love his Big Sis.

Love the reindeer nose and the sweater. I always wanted a sweater like that, but they just aren't practical here. I'd wear it once. Maybe. But, then again, it doesn't really get much colder than, what, 45 degree, there, right? That's what someone once told me, anyway.
You should check this sweather out at LL Bean, it is cotton and Ella wore it inside all day, even tho it was warm. I looks waaaay more "ski chalet" than it really is.
