Sweet Ella

Oh, our sweet Ella is such a girly girl. She only wanted two things from Santa Claus this Christmas - a baby doll and a toy called "Lucky the Incredible Wonder Pup". Bless her heart, she tries so hard to say all of that but it is a mouthful even for me! Needless to say, she got both of them yesterday. She was so funny because she would open one present and need it completely opened and out of all of its packaging before she was willing to open another one. We thought we would be there all day if that were the case. They make those packages next to impossible to get into! We finally got her moving along a little bit faster when she realized that there were baby dolls involved. All in all, she ended up with three new baby dolls yesterday. I think that means that she has a total of seven or eight now.

I let each girl spend about $10 picking out a present for their daddy. It can be anything in the world (as long as it costs around $10!). Ella's choice for her daddy this year - a baby doll. I am dead serious. He plays a game with her at night where he takes her baby doll and runs off with it. So, she wanted him to have his own baby doll to play with so he would quit taking hers. She, of course, ended up playing with "Daddy's baby doll" most of the day.

Not only does she play with all of these dolls, but she also wants to sleep with all of them! I counted last night, and I think she sleeps with about 20 or 25 animals, dolls, blankets, etc. I am constantly going in to her room when she is not looking and weeding out some of the stuff in her bed to make room for the "popular" lovies of the day. I swear there are times when there is no room for her in the bed! I plan on taking a pictures of it soon so that I can post it for you to see. It is quite funny to see - she needs all of those in there with her, you know!!!
