Our first Christmas living in Michigan! It was nice not having to travel, and also to be able to decorate the house and put up a Christmas tree. Being the only grandchild, Evan had what seemed like a month-long Christmas. Every day he would wake up and ask for presents. He thought every present under the tree was for him, and opened several that weren't (when no one was watching!). Evan was OBSESSED with The Grinch (both the cartoon & Jim Carrey version) over the holiday season....and beyond. To this day he still asks to watch "new Grinch" or "old Grinch." He also still asks me to sing Jingle Bells every night before bed. In "Grinch" terms, Evan could be the "Cheer-meister" for Christmas!
Smiling for Santa! The photographer just happened to snap this pic at the right time and it turned out perfect!
Not so happy here. Also, why are we all leaning one-way?
Christmas Eve at the Ellis house - opening "Unka E and Aunt Kissie's" gift (a tool bench!)
"Helping" Grandpa open his presents (because Evan secretly thinks they are for him)
Playing in his new tunnel!
And the matching tent. Evan set-up shop here with all of his toys from the day, and a snack.
Homemade aprons for the Ellis girls!
Our Christmas tree and Evan's gifts all ready for Christmas morning
A toy drill, just like Daddy's!
All of Evan's gifts from Christmas Day. Half way through opening, Evan leaned back on the couch and said "hard work"!
