Christmas Eve was spent at the in-laws first. Here is their tree!
Here are Ella and her cousin Aneesa with Grandma.
Cousin Chaston (Chazzy-Bear).
Lance and myself -funny shot!
Me and Candace (Lance's sister). I love this picture!
Here is Ella cuddling with Lexie while singing. The book Lexie is holding is a set of the hymns printed so that we all have a copy -and Mary even transposed them all a bit lower so that we could sing them easier! It's so beautiful with everyone singing in all four parts. :)
More Ella cuddling while singing (that's baby Tessa)!
Grandmother -Dad's mom came from California for the holidays!
Dave (who always looks crazy in pictures I take), Lex, and Noah!
Mia just roamed... :)

Mia was just happy with boxes and the excitement! 
...Then she'd had enough.
Odds and ends Christmas spew around the house (forgive me, I have to document the cuteness):
More. Yes, I need to get some stinkin' pictures in those frames!
After the excitement at our home, we headed to my family's house for more fun! Here's mom's tree. 
Mia taking a break in her new rocking chair.
Tessa joining her -in her wierd little chair that Rach got her!
Christmas Chaos!!
The fameous holiday rolls! Thanks Rach!!
To top off the holiday bliss, Mia took her first steps!

It's Christmas day!!! Here's our tree on the big morning. Yes, that is "Biscuit" that Santa brought Ella, and "Cookie Monster" for Mia-babes.
Ella loved him!
Lance got his new "Packers" jersey (it says "Pack Daddy" on the back)!
He got me this gorgeous bracelet -hard to see. I need photography lessons!
Chaedon was excited about his stash... it's mixed in with Mia's toys. :)
