Ella's first experience playing in snow.
Riding down the banister at Grandma's house.
Mommy and Ella's crazy make-up morning.
Making cookies and delivering them to those we love, in true Christmas season fashion.
Making gigantic messes. Ella didn't even want to eat the dough, only play in all the sugar and flour.
Performing a ridiculous pseudo-ballet to one of my favorite Christmas classics: Tchaikovsky's, "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy."
Generally, I am a big holiday decorator, but this year funds were low, so my Christmas decoration's were humble, but still oh, so magical.
As this holiday season comes to a close, I wish you all a wonderful new year filled with peace, love, and joy. I hope 2011 brings us all closer to our dreams, and closer to the magical world "somewhere over the rainbow."
