Ely: Christmas and Wedding Open House

Christmas in Ely was great!
Christmas Eve was filled with some Christ centered thoughts as well as some games with the family.

We stayed in a hotel about 5 minutes away from Alex's family. We awoke bright an early prepared for the gift opening at around 5 or 5:30?  I can't remember exactly.  Surely was fun to see the little kids get so excited about opening gifts.  

 Christmas Morning!

 Opening Presents

 So many people there, Trevor got stuck back in the corner kinda.

The next two days were filled with preparations for the Ely Open House.  It was kinda fun to actually decorate for this one.  (our other reception we hired someone to do it)  It involved fluffing a lot of pom-poms which would later hang from the ceiling.  We fluffed for hours!

 Alex was such a good sport to fluff with me :)
