Christmas 2009

As the year comes to a close I want to share a few last pictures from Christmas Day. Ethan was up at 5am and Elijah followed shortly after at 6:15am, a little earlier than I has anticipated (Ella was not awake,and slept most of the morning) Santa got Ethan a Pittsburgh Penguins hat and a NHL hockey game for Wii, Elijah got a train table and Ella got some toys for her car seat.


Here are some pictures of the morning:

This is actually from Christmas Eve, Elijah asked what was hanging by the fire place and we told him stocking, so he went in his room and out his and Ella's stockings on his feet....too funny!

Ella with a bow on her head

the boys in their new hats

Eli loves his playdough he got from Grandpa Mike

Does it look like I was excited to be up at 6am??? Oh well, it is always worth it to see their faces Christmas morning :)

Video games all day.....

Eli entertained at last, he actually played for an hour with this playdough

here is the train set, legos, basketball hoop and handy manny workshop Eli got

Ethan with his robot from Grandma Florko

Ella's baby gym from Grandpa Mike (I will get a picture of her in it when she wakes up, she slept most of today)

Ella Boo

little grin...

talking to me...

big smile...

Ella already has a nickname that we use quite a bit, "Ella Bella Boo" or "Boo" for short. She is such a cutie and I finally caught a smile on camera yesterday so I just had to share the pictures.

I've got my eye on you

This is the funniest picture I just had to share. Ella is staring right at me and although we weren't trying to get this shot, this is what turned out... So Funny!!

Grandpa Florko came to visit and Uncle Roy...

Roy and the kids( Eli asked, "Where is Grandpa Roy?" the last time he came down

Three pictures of Grandpa and the kids


Ella is very interested in who this is, she was just staring at him

My father in law has been helping us finish our basement by coming down on the weekends to work, and his friend Roy has also been coming along to help with the electrical work. This is the first time Wayne has seen Ella since she was born so I wanted to share some pictures. Thanks Wayne for all that you do for our family, we couldn't do it without your help.
