Christmas 2011

Sorry guys, I thought I had posted this before we left for Florida so now it's February and I am posting about Christmas.

I really failed this Christmas at taking pictures of Ella and all of us. She had the cutest Christmas day outfit too so I'm disappointed that I didn't get one. Here are a couple of pictures from Christmas morning and Ella opening everything. The kitchen set is from my mom and she absolutely loves it! Everything else was from us but didn't compare to the kitchen.





Of course, Tilly had a blasted with all the wrapping paper.

I Love to paint!

This is her new favorite thing to do. So here she is...

Starting Young

We decided that Ella needed to start helping out around the house more so we are training her on how to rinse dishes. We figured why not, she can't make too big of a mess!

Annual Gingerbread House Party 2011

Wow! I haven't been on here in forever. Sorry, I'm a little behind! We did our Gingerbread house party on the 11th of December but I did want to post some of the pictures from it. We had a great time like last year but I think Ella loved it even more because of all the candy that was around. This year there was a little more competition because we had my brother, Justin, his girlfriend, Heidi, Amy, and her boyfriend, Josh over. The big competition this year, like last year, was between Charlie and Edward so we had to get a vote on who won. We polled Margaret, Sara, and my Mom. The official results were: 1st-Edward with a little of my help, 2nd-Charlie and Alicia, 3rd-Justin and Heidi and 4th-Josh and Amy. Here are some pictures of everyone with their gingerbread houses.







Hopefully in the near future Margaret, Ben, Meredith, Jonathan, and Lydia can join in on the fun! :)
