Santa Clause Came to Town!

For the last two years "Santa" has visited our house.  This year our little elf understood what was going to happen a bit better so Christmas morning was a very exciting time for us!  Every time we asked Ella Ruth what Santa was going to bring her she asked for a blue Choo Choo.  Thankfully she requested the same toy each time.  We were also thankful her request was going to be an easy one to fill.  Because we weren't sure if her train obsession would last, we chose a simple Thomas the Train track.  She later asked for a pink train too so we also got her Rosie!  She was very excited to see the train in the living room and ask us to play trains with her a lot now!

This Christmas we also started a tradition we hope will stick in the future.  We decided to keep Santa's gifts simple by only purchasing a few things rather than a ton.  Overall ER received a Choo Choo, a camera, bath toys, clothes, a book, and a movie.  In her stocking she got a big sucker, stickers, and a small coloring book.  She also got an orange, a family tradition!

She was also very blessed by many family members too!  She loves all her toys.  This past week I reorganized and cleaned out!  She is such a lucky little girl!  :)
