Yule

| Willy Wonka wasn't the only one pondering
the tasty chemistry of the season. |
 |
 |
Stella sampled chemically enhanced
treats too. (Hopefully this isn't considered to be child abuse.) |
| Mommy and her little helper elf. |
 |
 |
Cousin Aidan was on center stage
of the festivities. |
| Stella thought it was all quite
humorous. |
 |
 |
Junior the dog worked hard to
entertain, then collapsed. |
| Afterwards, the remnants of material
gluttony were impressive. |
 |
 |
Clutching some newly acquired
booty, even the little elf slowed down a bit. |
| After a change into pajamas, Stella
and Aidan had enough energy to play with a new musical toy. |
 |
 |
In the morning, Stella enjoyed
some breakfast while Heidi caught up on some sleep. |
| On the way home, it was Stella's
turn to nap... |
|
 |
...while Heidi watched the road
roll by. |
| Back at home and after a bath,
Stella was a new girl. |
 |
 |
Later, she was excited to find
a big tub of fun toys awaiting her. |
| It didn't take long for her to
put them to use. |
 |

|
Always a chipper girl, Stella
especially enjoys playing. |
| Stella and Daddy used every block
to make a big tower, then knocked it all down. |
 |
 |
Stella determining whether the
different colors have a unique flavor. |
| A smiling, happy baby in a bucket
