Christmas 2005

Elise's first Christmas was very special and memorable. We hosted Dad's side of the family at our house and served dinner to 16 people for a sit down dinner. Phew, that was exahusting but alot of fun to have everyone over. Elise loved seeing her cousins run around the house and wanted to join them. Soon, she'll be running along with them and getting in the fun. On Christmas Day we all opened our presents but we had no idea what each other was getting Elise. She was definitely more interested in the boxes than the actual contents. One of her new gifts is a teddy bear from Daddy that she loves to kiss. Like the puppy she hugs all the time, she talks to the bear in her tiny little voice. It is so sweet to watch her chatting with the stuffed toys and kissing them.
