Christmas 2007


Ellie was soooo excited to be Mary this year in our annual Christmas Nativity.
Mike was Joseph, and little Aiden got be our baby Jesus. He was even wrapped in swaddling clothes. This is a Packer tradition, and everyone gets to participate. It is really fun, and helps us remember the meaning of Christmas!


Here Ellie is with her cousins Abby, & Hannah at the Runolfson Christmas Party.
They all got new pj's from Grandma Great.
It is fun to have cousins the same age!


Ellie got to see Santa 3 times this year.
Here she is with him at our ward Christmas party.She always told Santa that she wanted a Pet Shop Dr.


Ellie loved opening presents! She even helped me with mine!
She was very thankful for everything she got.
She would thank us over and over and tell us how much she loved every gift she got.

Here she is with her gifts from Santa.
She rushed past everything else and found her Pet Shop Dr.
She asked for it almost every day for three months.
It's a good thing Santa found one, or Ellie would have been upset.


I have noticed that there are only photos of Ellie on this blog.
Really, I am always the one taking the pictures, so you never see me.
I will try to remedy that and get some photos of all of us posted.
