Merry Christmas

I think Stella might be a little over-
whelmed by the Christmas exper-
ience, or maybe she's just freaked out by the fact that her stocking it larger than she is. Either way she's been hitting the festivities hard these last few days.

She spent a few days in Milwaukee with her grandparents earlier in the week. There are some pictures below. She is very fond of the stuffed lamb her grandpa bought for her. As you can imagine, Stella was kind of shocked when he ordered lamb chops later that night. Life's hard lessons are best learned young, I guess.

After we returned from Milwaukee, we quickly attacked the second prong of the holiday festivities with Stella's aunt, uncle and cousins. We went to church where Stella was excited to finally see the strange place her parents talked about but rarely went. After church we had some dinner at our house with everyone, played a little ping pong, and watched Stella's cousins eat marshmallows by the handful. Mmmm.

Tonight we have dinner with her cousins again and then in a few days it's the third and final prong of our Christmas attack when her other grandparents arrive from Nebraska for a few days. I'll keep you posted.

Stella wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Have a great day.
