Christmas 2013

Christmas 2013 is going to be a tough one to beat. We had a great time gearing up for the holidays in recent weeks (with the exception of a little stomach bug for Ellen) and the big day itself was so much fun. Ellen & June are at awesome ages for holiday fun. Everything is magical to them and we couldn't help but feed off of their excitement. Here's a review of our Christmas festivities, in pictures:

She didn't sing a single word of any of the songs, but she did a great job standing there!
