Christmas Eve with the Shyamji's

Opening her presents with Bah.
She was more interested in the baby food bottle filled with coins than any of her new toys.
Eric loved his new Nike sneakers.
She was really fond of the Mega Blocks that Dada got for her.
Nechelle liked her new black boots.
Nicholas checking out his MP3 player.
Ellis and Nechelle
Ellis really loved Marcus. She never cuddles like this with anyone. So sweet.
Bah, Ellis, Vimal and Dada.

Vimal and I consider ourselves really lucky that both sets of our parents live within 15 minutes of each other because we never have to battle over where we will spend Christmas. This year we opened gifts with Vimal's side of the family on Christmas Eve. Ellis made a haul. She got a music table, tons of clothes, and mega blocks. She really likes it there too because she gets to crawl all over the huge carpeted living room. In Boston, she spends all of her time crawling around on hardwood. When she first sat down on the rug, she ran her hand over the carpet just to check it out...then she was off on a whirlwind. Afterwards, she napped for almost 2 hours! It almost made me wish we had carpet! More soon....
