The Esquivels are starting to get into the Christmas groove. This morning started out with family Christmas pictures (including Ellee). Jessi was more interested in showing off her shoes than in taking pictures. Thanks Jen for helping her remember to smile. We put up the tree (including lights) when Jessi took her nap. This was the quickest we have ever put up the tree. She was very interested in the tree, especially the lights, when she came downstairs after her nap. Jessi was thrilled to help decorate the tree. We placed the less fragile ornaments on the branches within her reach. Her favorite ornament today has been a little cardinal.
Jenny has been baking cookies the last couple days and finished up today. Jessi helped sprinkle the sprinkles on Grandpa Ftacek's favorite cookies. She ate up one cookie and then asked for more! We haven't finished the outside lights yet (due to the weather), but are hoping tomorrow will be a nice day for that.
