Ellie's 1st Christmas

We had our first Christmas with Ellie, she wore a new set of outfit, a long sleeve cotton onesie with reindeer in the front, crimson pants, snow white socks, a pair of tiny shoes from New Zealand, the sole is made of sheep skin, and shoes are hand woven sheep wool. And she wore the beige colored hat with crimson flower patterns, looks like a little model baby.

The three of us went to the Christmas in the Park in San Jose on X-mas day, there were so many people, music was in the air every where, hundreds of uniquely decorated X-mas trees, we bought a couple of newly fried churro's from the food stand, sit down on the bench, Ellie got so much compliments from people passing by. What caught my attention was the older man sitting across from the bench, looking like he can use a nice shower, a good meal and a nice outfit. He started smiling at Ellie when we tried to take picture of her, he did succeed in making her put on a big grin. When we were ready to move again, the man came over and flip open his jacket and digged out a white polar bear toy from deep in his pocket and gave it to Ellie. What a surprise, I was the one who was wondering if I could offer anything to him, but now he did it. X-mas is in the air indeed.
