We celebrated Christmas with both sides of Chris's family in Illinois. On Christmas Eve we drove to Quincy. Ellie has become such a book fan. She kept herself busy looking at books for almost an hour.
Nori is a good passenger except when we drive by animals. She got upset when she saw some cows and then couldn't relax for the rest of the drive.
Ellie had lots of fun playing in Bill and Susie's apartment.
Christmas Eve dinner.
On Christmas morning we visited Bill and Susie and then drove to Springfield.
Ellie loved exploring the house and checking out everything that was going on. Once in awhile she would get shy and rush back to me or Chris though.
We had a big Christmas dinner and fun gift exchange that night.
Opening more presents the day after Christmas.
Lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Ellie was so excited when Leah arrived. She followed her around and kept reaching out to hug her. I didn't get pictures with the other cousins but Ellie loved seeing Harper and Micaela too. She is at a fun age for being interested in other kids.
