One of our Christmas traditions has been having our nephew Caleb over to help decorate the tree and house. This started back in 2001 when it was just Caleb and myself. Caleb has graciously made room for Mark, and now Ellie as well. We got the house all ready on Saturday evening, enjoying pizza, dorito's, pop and a couple rounds of Mario Kart on the Wii.
Thanks to Ellie's cousin Emmarae, who was born at a similar time of year, Ellie has an extremely adorable Christmas-themed wardrobe. Mark, Ellie and I read the Christmas story in church on Sunday, and she was decked out in her "Mrs. Claus" outfit - I don't thin
k anyone in the service was listening to me, nor do I think they even knew Mark was holding Ellie. She was very, very cute.We are looking forward to spending our first Christmas as a family, with our extended family and Grandma Ratzlaff who is coming to spend it with us.
