Christmas morning

Of course I was too busy enjoying the morning to take many pics, but here are a few. Ella's "big" gift was an electric scooter which she had to test out on a chilly Christmas morning.

Can I get a little lettuce with this Ranch dressing?

We love salad and a great deal! Salad bar for me and the kids under $8 at Mazzios. Great for a busy night after gymnastics practice.

Preparing for Christmas

I have never put up the tree BEFORE Thanksgiving, BUT we did this year. I don't know why, I don't know much, but I know I love you...... CHRISTMAS!
