Saturday Evening in Hampden

The lights on 34th Street in Hampden.
Ellie with her Mommy and Daddy.
Grandma, Daddy, and Auntie Donna with Ellie. Bill, why are your eyes always closed?
Look at those lights...
Saturday Morning...
Watson's Garden Center
Tossing "wishes" into the fountain at the Watson's Christmas hallway.
Ellie is checking out the alpacas on the Watson's patio.
I don't remember it this is Nomad or Noah but he is cute anyway. Maybe I am just saying that because he has the same underbite that Schatzie has?!?
The Church of the Nativity's Who-bilation...
Santa, Grandma, and Ellie.
Grandma, Ellie, Auntie Donna, and Daddy waiting to see Santa. Seriously Bill, your eyes are closed again!
Watching the Who-bilation show.
Here comes the kitty cat whiskers.
Ellie and Daddy making a necklace.
Ellie is showing me her beautiful ornament that she and Grandma made for Meme and Papoo.
Ellie and Grandma working on her ornament... Actually it looks like Grandma is doing all of the work and Ellie is watching the girl next to her.
Ellie and her pink Christmas tree... Thanks Uncle Mike, Aunt Jess, Nora, and Bella!!
Donna and MB
Ellie in my Ravens glasses.

Running around in Papoo's "cowboy" hat.
Horray!!! Papoo hung lights outside special just for Ellie. Thanks Papoo!
Ellie's Christmas program
Ellie and her teacher, Ms. Brooke.
Ellie and Deb sit and watch the rest of the holiday program.
Ellie (in the grey dress, second from the end) and her 3-year old class reciting their poem for the holiday program at school.
Sing a song of winter, frost is in the air.
Sing a song of winter, snowflakes everywhere.
Sing a song of winter, hear the sleigh bells chime.
Can you think of anything as nice as winter time?
Ring, ring, ring the bells, ring them loud and clear.
To say to people everywhere that Christmas time is here.
