stella's christmas morning.

i can not believe that christmas day came and went.  it was like a rush to get to this day and then all of the sudden it was past us.  i have to say that christmas this year was very special.  we have been blessed with so many wonderful things this year.  it has been amazing to witness.  stella has grown up so much and this christmas was especially neat to see her take part in.  she really understands that christmas is about jesus and his birthday but she also loves the santa part too.  we try not to hype it up too much but it was really fun to see her light up when she saw what santa brought her.  we also left out some reindeer food for the team and she was quick to go outside to see if they ate it.  thanks mary nell for the gift! it was a big hit! our favorite saying from that morning was "mommy, rudloph made a mess". it was so cute!  hope that you had a wonderful holiday and that you are surrounded by family, friends and many hugs.
