Christmas Cookies & Nemo

I used to love how every Christmas as a girl, all 4 of us Mayne kiddos got to make & cutout Christmas cookies.  It became a sort of tradition.  I'm going to pass this on to my girls for our family tradition.  This year Ella truly is beginning to "get" Christmas.  She helped cutout the cookies last night.  We let her sit up on the high stool and cut them out.  As she was doing this, all of a sudden she let out a big "NEMO!"...I looked down and thought she meant how the star looks like the starfish on the movie.  Nope, Mike noticed that the "snowman" sideways, does indeed look like a fish!  My little artist, seeing things from her own perspective.  
Love it!  So we decorated a few just like "Nemo"....
little does she know what "Santa" is bringing her for Christmas!!!!
