Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo!

Christmas Rocks! 'Nuf said!

Hmmm, do you think she likes the kitty cat?

Retro Kitchen and.......

...lots more! What a lucky girl! Thank you for all of my presents!

Getting into the Holiday Spirit...

....with COOKIES!

A Strictly "Quality Control" taste test. Mmmmmm, that's good!

Carrie and Jack doing the "icing squeeze". Cookie time allows for great bonding time between family and friends.......

....but mostly it's just an excuse to eat a lot of frosting right before bedtime. That's my girl!

Frantic, last minute Christmas shopping, in sweats and rain boots, of all things!

Hmmmmm...what to buy for mama and daddy?

Some like it HOT after a long night of shopping! This girl LOVES to eat bell peppers like an apple!

"Stay at Home" Moms--Get Your Office Holiday Party On!

Just a lil' bit o' something here, and a lil' bit o' something there! Perfect!

Ella and Currier make their first attempt at a domestic decor partnership.

Delightfully Tacky! Think Hansel and Gretel would be tempted by this concoction?

"What do you have there, Ella?" asked Currier. "Might I take it off your hands for you?"

As we sipped on mimosas and supervised the kids' decorating a gingerbread house yesterday, my good friend Coleen pointed out to me that this was our office holiday party, since we technically work mostly out of our homes and are responsible for our children 24/7--Cheers!

I love my Mama and Dada so much!

Couch Potatoes!

Give me a hug, please!

Give me the camera, Dada, and there won't be any trouble!

All in a Day's Work

Ella arrives at her "office" at 9:00 sharp every morning.


Then it's right to work on the household budget.
She has to keep Mama and Dada's spending in check!

Now it's on to the park for some R & R.

She feels an inspiration to write, so....

...she takes immediately to pen and paper!

Voila! It's all in a day's work for Ella Louise!
