| EB's nutcracker that he painted - perfect table decoration |

| At the Capitol City Christmas parade with Bebe and E-daddy |
 |
| Loving the parade |
 |
| Loving my "cousin time" with my cousin and best friend, Lauren |
 |
| The Capitol tree |
 |
| She loved every second of the parade - was slightly overstimulated when we got home and was up nearly all night! |
 |
| Ellison wanting so much to give baby Lainey some "love" |
 |
| Miss Priss dancing the night away |
 |
| Slowed her down just long enough to grab a quick picture, and then she was off again |

| Breakfast with Santa the next morning |
 |
| Yep, that's my girl - eating everything in sight, right off the table |
 |
| He was loving the puppet show |
 |
| She was too |
 |
| I thought this was such a precious face he was making |
 |
| Very proud of the ornament he made |
 |
| The was the best attempt at a family picture! |

| Our 1st attempt at making "salt dough ornaments" - thought we would try something besides making cookies and sweets this year |
 |
| Waiting for the ornaments to bake - this is a very familiar scene in our house |

| Another new tradition that I highly recommend - the Jesse Tree. I have enjoyed doing this more than anything else this year. |
 |
| Just a sampling of the 25 ornaments that will be placed on this tree by Christmas Day - all pointing directly to the promise of Christ's coming through stories of the Old Testament (as of today, we have 21 ornaments on the tree). This will definitely be a new tradition in our home. |

Love love love these pictures! We had a blast with y'all at the parade. And I need to know more about the Jesse tree. What a great tradition. And I have to say that I am loving watching Ellison's personality shine through. She cracks me up and she is just so joyous and full of life. It shines through in every picture. I think I need to see your kids now!
Your ornaments turned out so well. We might have to try that next year. I remember doing the Jesse tree when I was little. What a wonderful tradition.
Wow, Erin. Blown away at the beauty and comprehensiveness of these pictures and words. Love, Dad
