Wishing everyone a merry christmas. Ella was so excited to come downstairs and see if Santa had come. She was like a kid in a candy store...barely able to keep her hands off the gifts. I loved watching her excitement to see what Santa had brought her. And since Ella was so excited, of course Jacob was too!
getting ready to open gifts!
Jacob got a workbench from Santa
Ella's current favorite princess, Princess Peach.
Christmas kisses
Vincent & I gave Ella a coupon book. She can redeem 1 coupon per month to receive a "daddy/daughter" date or a "mommy/daughter" date. Each coupon has a different activity for the date. I love this idea because I wish I could give each kid more 1-on-1 time. Ella loves spending her days with Jacob, Vincent and I, but I also know how much she cherishes her 1-on-1 time.
Uncle Stephen bought Ella & Jacob the coolest soccer/lacrosse/hockey toy! 
Santa brought Ella her baby Snow White doll she has been asking for! 
Ella made Vincent & I an ornament in school. I will treasure it always!
Thank you Nani for Ella's awesome pink scooter! Now she can ride her scooter with all her friends!
The determination...
Ella was so excited when she saw Santa and his reindeer had eaten all their food! AND Santa had left a thank you note for Ella & Jacob!
Jacob's favorite...a talking horse!
...and some cool cars tattoos!
