Christmas Day Fun at Mamaw's

Ella, Gracie, and Kalyn looked pretty cute in their new hats!

 

Ella got the cutest little puppy from Mamaw.  It bounces around and barks, and she LOVES it!

Gracie was excited to get Just Dance for the Wii.  I'm watching her use it right now, and it's pretty fun to watch!

Lucas made a fashion statement in his new ladies slippers!  I think he rather enjoyed the accidental purchase of leopard slippers and he wore them proudly!

 

                                                    
Mason tried out Aunt B's new robe and Ella's pom poms.  It's never dull at our U-ville Christmas!

Christmas Morning at Casa Doolin

Gracie was excited to see that Santa did show up!

Ella was her usual sleepy self for a while, but she perked up.

Ella loved her new Barbies.  She wanted one with weird hair, and this girl had pink hair, and a little sister!

Santa brought Gracie the Hermione wand she wanted (from Harry Potter).

Watch out!  She can cast spells now with her illuminated wand.

Santa brought Ella a dog that walks with a remote controlled leash and barks.

                   Time to start working on learning the states/capitals!

 

                                                  
                                            Our little tomboy is still in love with cars.

Ella's Pre-K Christmas Program

Ella was so excited to have her Tri-County Christmas program.  She was a lamb in the nativity portion of the program, even though she was offered the part of the angel.  Her teacher told me she begged to be a lamb because "she was already an angel in the Christmas parade and she had never been a lamb!"

Ella loves her teacher, Miss Dawn.  This is our second experience with Miss Dawn since Gracie had her also.  Dawn is an amazing teacher!

Eleanor and Anastasia were serious about their bell ringing!

I'm pretty sure Ella didn't miss a note in the song.  She loves to ring the bells, and never took her eyes off of her teacher.  We were very proud of her tonight!
