Christmas Laughter

It's Christmas night and while the boys watch the Packers play, Mommy thought she'd update the blog.  We drove to Wisconsin Thursday night after work, with the best driving conditions I can remember.  Yet, somehow, we still got detained because Eric got pulled over.  No ticket, but a warning.
We attended the Christmas Eve children's service, which was a dream come true, with children participating in the mass, and lots of other vocal children in the congregation.  Elaine was sure to add to the "choir".  Christmas morning we opened gifts, took a break to feast on the big meal, and picked up where we left off later in the day. 

Here is Eric's dad teaching Elaine how to shake the gifts and play with the ribbon.

This was probably Elaine's favorite gift from Santa, it's a bumble bee that lights up, makes sounds and that is just her size to grab and move things around on. 

Here is our little Santa dolly being extra cute. 

And here she is doing her cute little giggles after I fed her the evening meal.  She loved her first Christmas and tommorrow we head to Peoria to have a Frost Christmas!  Ho Ho Ho!
