Susan ordered the cutest cake! Ellie had her own mini-cake to destroy all by herself.
She mainly dug a hole in the side and seemed to like the taste. She ended up with quite a bit of frosting in her hair--so she went right into the bathtub before opening her presents.

Here is Ellie in her PJs playing with her loot!
We don't get many chances to take a full family photo these days--so I was thrilled to get this one!
And here's a random shot of Ellie asleep in her jumparoo. (She fell asleep while I was right next to her, taking a bath. I promise I don't just l leave her in there for hours at a time!)
I'm pretty sure that Ellie will be scarred for life. The Santa at our ward Christmas party was a little too scary, I guess.
Ellie participated in her daycare center's Christmas program. (Well, as much as 1 year old can participate anyway.):
I was so excited to have my mom and grandma come to visit this past weekend. Here is a 4 generation photo for Ellie's scrapbook!
We are excited for Christmas to come! Now if it would just stop raining before half of Mesquite washes away...
