Ellestad Christmas!

We started our Christmas festivities in Fond du Lac on the 23rd and got to enjoy the family and the snow :) It was just us and Jeff and Jenny's family on the 23rd and it was a plaid affair! 


Isaac and Leo spent some time wrestling with adult helmets... 
I think Leo won this round! 
 

And they are off again....! 
 

This one looks like Lord Helmet!


Leo and Isaac snuggling with Grandpa in the big chair! 





Jeff had packed all of their snow gear in a suitcase... once it was empty - the boys filled it again... 



The snow was awesome so we all spent some time outside and built Grandma Carol a HUGE snowman! 
 

Building a snowman is hard work --- the boys were trying to catch snow chunks as they were shaved off the snowman to get a drink! 
 

The 3 guys making their way to the garage to come in for cocoa. 
Isaac lost his boot have way and melted down... I think "cocoa" was replaced with NAP! 
 

9 Ellestad cousins - crazy to think it was only Landon at my first Ellestad Christmas. 
 

The kids shot is always followed by the crazy parent photo --- "smile" "look over here!"... 
 

Parker got lots of love from the adults - being snuggled is exhausting!  


Uncle Buck got James an ET for Christmas. 
This is a love that Patrick and I don't share - but are happy that they have each other and that slightly creepy alien :)


Isaac got a Big Wheel from Aunt Amy - I am already picturing the madness is the driveway next summer...and the quick turns and foot brakes we used to use right before you hit the road! 
 

"No Isaac --- no piano!!!!" 
 

Post present nap... I am not sure who is more content?!? 
 

Uncle Jojo is so awesome! 


It was a selfie stick kind of Christmas --- Jack especially was a fan! 
 

There were lots more - but you can see Jack or me in most of the photos! 
 

Such goofy kids! 
 

The whole gang!
