Santa Visit

Ella didn't care much for Santa this year. As sad as it was to watch, it was also a little funny.

My Santa pics at this age looked very similar, as I'm sure many toddler Santa encounters are...

We went to visit Santa with our friends Julee & Joy. We tried to get a good picture of the girls together, but none of them turned out great...2 toddlers don't like to stay still and pose for long.

Ella is tattling on Joy because she is trying to stand up when we told the girls to sit down the whole time on the train...notice the pointed finger (no, no, no)

Halloween with Pebbles

We celebrated Halloween with a bunch of friends again this year. We had a blast last year when everyone came over, but this year was even more fun because all the kiddos were on the move and excited! We had 7 kiddos to take around the neighborhood trick or treating and they all did great (we only made it to 4 houses)! Ella was dressed as Pebbles Flintstone and looked precious! I was just excited that the costume I made her stayed sewn together and actually looked somewhat like the Pebbles images :) Here's some fun shots of the night...

Ella refused to look at the camera...too interested in figuring out how to get that package open

Ella checking out Roman's wheels...she was a bit envious :)

Halloween Fun at "My Gym"

We went to "My Gym" last night for a Halloween Party. It was a little chaotic with all the kids and parents running around in costume, but we had a blast! Ella was dressed up as a cowgirl because her real costume isn't finished yet. I'm in the process of sewing (for the 1st time) a Pebbles Flintstone costume, so cross your fingers I get it done and it stays sewn together when she wears it on Halloween :) However, the fun part about her wearing the cowgirl outfit, was that it was the same one I wore for Halloween right before I turned 2 :)

Back to Cowgirl Ella...

The fringe on the bottom of the skirt was hurting her (it was so old & crinkly)

So, I'm cutting it off and she's unhappy that she can't help :(
