Christmas 2008

Christmas Eve's honored "Pajama" tradition!

The kids in their new Christmas pajamas waiting to go see what Santa brought!

Well, the day finally arrived. Personally, I can't believe how fast it came again this year! The kids were excited from Christmas Eve, because the Chidester/Armstrong family & the Wisner family came over for Eve dinner. That morning they all went skiing at Sundance and had a great time. Sydney & Taylor Wisner went sledding with Doug in Orem. Mom got to stay at home and make sure the house was in some order for the evening activities. After everyone went home to anxiously await Santa, Blake graciously put together a dollhouse/bookcase for Sydney from Grandma Shirley. It is nice to have a handy 15 year old around.

Ashlyn showing off her long-awaited Nintendo DS. That was the hot ticket item at the Ellis home this year!

Blake got a Maeser Warm-up and new flannel sheets from Grandma Shirley! We gave him the basketball bag pictured to go along with the grandma gift. He also got a new gun, a Wii golf game, etc. He was happy just to be this year!

Samantha was excited for her Nintendo DS too! She is also showing off her MarioKart for the Wii!
Have no idea where the pictures of Sydney went. I have a feeling that she was so excited and bouncing around that she didn't hold still long enough for any of us to snap her picture! She got a pink Nintendo DS and a few games to go with it, plus a few other smaller items. The dollhouse from grandma was a hit!
