Busy week

This week has been busy in getting ready for Ella's big first birthday and Ella's second Christmas. We started with a little shopping at Dad's work. Luckily there is a little train set to play with and a few boys to push around...



Ella had a lot of fun in her stroller too - which was nice because that meant she wasn't trying to jump out of it. As an added bonus her hair got to have fun too.



You can't do Christmas shopping and not have a tree at home, right? So we headed off to pick one up and much to Dad's enjoyment he was able to fit all of us and an 8 foot tall Christmas tree into the Prius!! We were impressed.



Then of course there is always fun to be had at home. Ella had a blast pushing and being pushed on her birthday present from Grandpa Pete. Mom and Dad have to say that of all the singing toys, the firetruck has the best songs.




There are always good meals and lots of smiles at our house too...


But sadly someone is always leaving for work too. Ella loves to look out the window and door - this time she even walked across the room to get there herself. Afterall, she did have to say goodbye to Dad as he headed off to work.
