Setting Up For Ella's First Christmas

Christmas Eve 2008

This was our tree this year, small and up high. :-)

Ella's stocking, stuffed and awaiting Christmas morning.

New Toys!!!

New Highchair

Ella loves the new highchair that Gramma & Grandpa got her, especially the toy that comes with it. :-)

Tinker Bell Chair

Ella loves her new Tinker Bell chair. It's so comfy. :-)

She loves to climb on it.

Even Muffin likes Ella's new chair.

11 Months Old!

Ella is 11 Months today! I took some pictures before we headed out to meet friends for a special holiday event at Santana Row with Andy Z performing.

Ella dancing to some of her favorite Andy Z songs!

Chasing Bubbles

Ella had fun playing with bubbles tonight after her bath. It's hard to see in this photo, but she's just about to catch a really big one.

I put this robe on her when she gets out of the bath tub because she's always anxious to run around after her bath and won't keep her hooded towel on.

A couple of pictures I took yesterday

Ella's First Thanksgiving

Ella had a good first Thanksgiving despite being quite sick. She's got a really bad cold/flu, so we stayed home instead of heading up to Gramma & Grandpa's. I cooked dinner for us and we took it down to Great Gramma Jean's.

Ella is wearing a cute outfit that Auntie Joy sent her.

This was Ella's seat at the table. She snacked on Puffs since she doesn't have much appetite right now. She enjoyed being part of the table though.
