Balls family Christmas

We got to have our Aunt Nellie hang out with us for Christmas this year.  Ella was so excited to have Nellie do her hair for church.  It was cute and curly.  Then Nellie pulled out necklaces and earrings for herself so Ella ran to grab her own jewelry.  

After church Nolan and Corie came to down.  Nellie gave all the cousins a lovely noisy making instrument.  They loved it.  

Corie is only 2 and a half weeks behind me.  Pretty exciting!

She is having a boy and I am having a girl.  They will be great friends I am sure!

We headed up to Logan late on Christmas day.  Corie and Nolan had our family this year, so you will see why this gift made me smile.  Baby Marshall is the baby in Corie's tummy.  And he is so sweet, he picked out some cute little mittens for our baby... that is still in need of a name. 

 It snowed all day in Logan, so we didn't get out much but we sure enjoyed fun time together.  Ella and Nellie colored this Barbie purse, painted each others nails and combed Barbie dolls hair.

 There was some fun pile on Dad time.

 (on a side note, prior to all this christmas fun Darren fixed up our downstairs bathroom.  I was very proud of his plumbing abilities.)
