Christmas Day Cont... Daddy and his girl!

More pictures with my new lens. These are of my 2 favorite subjects! Aren't they cute!




My New Lens.... Christmas Day Cont.

Christian totally surprised me and got me the lens that I have been drooling over forever. Of course I had to play with it today. Here are some cute pics I took of Eliana today.



Christmas Day!

Christmas Day..... Eliana is having a GREAT day! She loves all the presents that Santa, Mommy and Daddy and Grammie and Grandpa Williams got her! Santa got her the kitchen (which took Santa 2 hours to assemble) and the Snow White dress as well as a fun first Barbie. She is in her room right now playing with all her new toys! I will add more later, but just wanted to put up a few pictures now.






Christmas Eve!

On Christmas Eve day we made Gingerbread houses (for the second time this year). The first time we made them we didn't get to spend time helping Eliana make hers. So we had fun helping her make and decorate her own house! She ate a lot of candy in the process! In the evening Adam, Crystal and Alaya Smith came over for a turkey dinner and we sang Christmas songs, read the Christmas story, had Risa ala mande (Danish Rice Pudding), strawberries on a cloud and watched Mr. Kruger's Christmas... one of my favorite Chirstmas movies. Oh and I (Addie) got the almond... it wasn't rigged either! After the Smith's left, we opened one present each, Christmas pj's, and went to bed. Well, Eliana went to bed and Christian and I finished wrapping and assembling for Santa.

Merry Christmas!

I created a blog for my photography but thought we should jump on the family blog bandwagon as well. We are so excited for Christmas this year! Eliana just turned 3 and is now at the perfect age. She can't wait for the Polar Express train to come wake her up on Christmas eve and take her to see Santa. As much as we tell her this is pretend, we think she still believes the train is coming. Here are a few pictures from Eliana's visit to Santa. Eliana was so excited to see Santa and tell him that she wanted a Snow White dress for Christmas. Her friend Makayla was scared of Santa at first so Eliana sat on his lap with her so she'd have the courage to talk to him too. I've also put in some pictures from Christmas eve, eve...the Sunday before Christmas. As you can see, my belly is getting bigger... but the pictures don't make it look nearly as big as it feels :). In one picture you can see Eliana holding up three fingers.... she is obsessed with the fact that she is now 3 and wants 3 of everything!
