Santa Claus

We went to the country club today to have brunch with Santa Claus. Ella wanted nothing to do with him, however she was very interested in the candy canes he had! We were able to get her in the same vicinity as Santa so she could get a candy cane but that was it. There was no chance of her sitting on his lap! Better luck next year!

Trimming the Tree

Ella picked out our Christmas Tree this year. It took awhile because she liked them all and really just liked being outside at the Christmas Tree lot. The tree she finally picked is a very nice one. Trimming the tree with her was a lot of fun. She had a great time unwrapping all the ornaments and looking at them. However, I think she took as many ornaments OFF the tree as she put on! Mommy had to do most of it after Ella went to bed!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Smith Mountain Lake with mom and dad. It was nice and relaxing. Ella loves being outside, especially at the lake with her Nonna and Papa. Tony did a lot of hunting and the rest of us watched a lot of football.
