I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone! I have to say that Christmas with a daughter (or son for that matter) is a totally new experience. Now I would like to update my answer to question 18 on my last post...I now know the joy of watching my daughter open a present and the little look that she would get on her face! There's nothing like it. I can't wait until her birthday next month and I can give her more presents!
Anyway...on with the festivities. On Sat night, we got together with all of my mom's family. My gracious Grandpa thought that for his gift to us, he would take us all to Crystal Cathedral which is a really cool presentation of the Nativity that a church up in LA does. It's a great show with Flying angels and everything!

Now to the best part of the day...watching Ella discover what has been under this paper for the past month in her room. She was so funny cuz she would open up the present and then just look at us like, "Is this for ME?"
Opening her Elmo Medical Kit from her cousin Jason...Thanks Jason! She LOVES it!

I love this picture cuz she had just figured out how to push the button to make Cookie Monster talk and she thought she was so smart!

it is fun watching your kids open presents and enjoying themselves. calvin seemed to enjoy the boxes more than the gifts too, i think that's the way it always is at first...

I was so stoked to read EIGHT comments. That was record and then it looks like meghan got a little crazy with the send button. Ella once again puts the biggest smile on my face. She is either the funniest kid with all those expressions.. or you are the best photographer catching all those moments. I love them! So fun. I am anxious to hear about your location change. Please keep me posted! Everything looks so fun for you over the holidays. One thing I notice is what a little sun can do for our faces. Pastey white faces here in Utah is not my favorite look. You know what I"m talking about! Wednesdays low is a big "o" degrees. That's disgusting! Happy Holidays Ang. Love ya! Krissy
Ang- so fun. Your family looks so good and Owen looks so happy with his cute wife.
