We celebrated Christmas this year at my older brother Zac's. He and his girlfriend Kristen live just down the street - seriously, we live on the same street - so it was really convenient for us to just make the trip from our place to theirs and back again. They made an amazing dinner, with a lot of help from my younger brother Gabe. We had prime rib, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans with bacon, sausage stuffing, pasta salad, and apple/snicker salad (whoever came up with this idea is brilliant!). I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but these were the main things on the table and it was all so good. I'm a foodie - so had to mention everything we had. It was weird to not be in the kitchen helping, but everybody was so nice to Seth and I making sure that we didn't have to work that day, and could relax and share Ella with everyone. Thanks guys!!! Zac was able to hold her for the first time, and my great aunt Hazel was also able to meet/hold her for the first time. It was wonderful! We named Ella after my Grandma Ella, and Hazel was Ella's sister, so they've got a unique bond right from the start.

Hi Katie & Seth,
once again congrats! You obviously did a great job although most of the work -and of course pleasure- is still to come. Very nice pictures indeed although Daddy Seth looks kind of huge when he holds the baby but this will also get better with the years to come. Anyway, no more jokes. I bet you are all thrilled and exited and it is my sincere wish that Ella Rose will give you nothing but joy and pleasure and most of all that she will be of good health. Lots of love to all three of you++++++++++++Frank
