Yes, Ellen Virginia, There is a Santa Claus

Ellen's Christmas festivities started off with an impressive snowfall. Since our stroller didn't come equipped with snow chains, we broke out the Baby Bjorn and bear snowsuit so we could get some fresh air.

Ellen had lots of fun at her first Flynn Family Christmas Party on the 23rd ...

She got to see Santa, again, and posed for a picture with her cousins, Gavin and Sophia.
On Christmas Eve, EVB donned a fancy red dress for church, followed by dinner and presents at Omma & Boppa (Grandma Lynn & Grandpa Rollie)'s house.
Before heading over to Grandma Suzi and Grandpa Kent's house on Christmas Day, we spent a relaxing morning at home. It was so much fun to see what Santa brought Ellen! (She had no clue what was going on, but I'm sure we'll enjoy looking back on the numerous photos and videos of her first Christmas.)
Ellen was all tuckered out by the time we got home Christmas night, but she was kind enough to let us take one final picture of her with some of her loot from Santa. (This pales in comparison to the amount of gifts Ellen received from everyone else ... I have no idea where we're going to store everything, but we're very appreciative of everyone's generosity!)
All in all, EVB had a magical first Christmas!
