Merry Christmas

Three cute boys who wouldnt sit still for a picture =)

We had a wonderful Christmas spending time with our families. The Saturday before Christmas we went to Aunt Fran and Uncle Tom's house in Hemet and enjoyed a wonderful day with cousins, Aunts and Uncles. Christmas Eve we spent with Dad, Ilene, Aunt Donna and Uncle David, Cameron, Emily, Arlo and Jack, we had a fun evening and it was wonderful to see everyone. Christmas Day we woke up at Grandma Rosemary's and Grandpa Kent's. We took our time opening presents and then had breakfast. We spent the rest of the day relaxing, playing games and having fun. It was great.
Sam got transformers and a Mack truck with Lightning McQueen and Mr. The King inside. Sam alson got an Imaginext robot dinosaur that he has been obsessing about for 2 months. We brought it out of the box, he screamed and hid. We turned it on and he freaked out. We brought it home and he put it in "time out" in Ben's closet and then spent the next week telling us to be quiet or we will wake up the dinosaur. The Monday after Christmas it went back to Target. He keeps asking me if its at Target, I say yes and then he informs me that it doesnt belong in our house.
Cutest baby ever, got a ball popper machine and some chewie toys for teething. He is in heaven!

Harrison got a Lego set. He wanted a Lego City that you put together. It came with a Mack truck, 6 cars, a gas station, car wash, auto repair and a few other items. Grandma and Grandpa got him a Lego helicopter with a buoy and a speed boat. Keep in mind all of this had to be put together, poor Ben; however he loved every minute of it and so did Harrison.
The boys and I painted Ben a popcorn bowl, how did I manage three kids on a rainy day to go to the paint your own pottery store, finish the project in 30 minutes and not loose my mind? Emily Krahn, our wonderful friend down the street who likes to come over and help me with the kids, she is amazing! Thanks Emily! Ben makes popcorn about once a week for the kids so we had to make him a bowl and get him some gormet popcorn kernels.

Ben and the boys bought me tons of bath stuff. Ben said every bath item that was pink the boys would say "this is for girls" and throw it into the cart. Ben bought me a beautiful white pasta bowl and a Giada de Laurentis cookbook, "Family Dinners", my favorite. My mom got me one too, "Giada's Kitchen" and it was signed!

Jim, Lynette, Seth and Ethan came up for a few days after Christmas and we had a lot of fun. The boys got Razor scooters from Grandma and Grandpa so we attempted a bike ride.
We didnt get a Christmas card our this year, we honestly were having too much fun. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
Love, The Ellsworth's

The pictures are cute! I can't believe you got them all three to smile and hold still for that fraction of a second and I'm totally dying about the dinosaur. That's all he wanted! Maybe he liked to see it at Target but not close to home. You forgot that Ben also got you gorgeous jewelry that he picked up himself.
