In Your Easter Bonnet...

For Easter this year, I got a sweet set of flutterby wings and an awesome soosoo!

Then, I got to switch to a pretty, twirly dress with big girl shoes...

Mommy wore big girl shoes, too!

I liked being silly with the fluffy stuff from my Easter basket...

Gavin liked being silly, too!
Happy Easter, everybody! Thanks Easa Buwee Wabbee!

My Funny Valentine...

So, for Valentine's Day this year, Grammy got GaGa and me tickets to see Sesame Street Live! It was totally awesome!

We got into the city (pretty cold, but I loved it), and I just could not wait until we got in to see the show!

Mommy and Daddy wanted to stop in the lobby at MSG and take pictures, I just wanted to see Elmo! For the love of Pete, where's Cookie?!?!?!

We finally got in, more pictures in our seats, and then.....

The big SHOW!!!!! It was awesome! (Sitting in my seat, not so much, but seein' my peeps on stage was pretty sweet!)

Gavin was freakin' out!
Thanks Grammy! What a show!

Our Playoff Sunday (Ella's Greatest Hits)...

Ella and Mommy decided to make forts, play in laundry baskets, and sing songs while Daddy watched FOOSEBALL---ALL DAY LONG! We had fun, though... Here's the footage (sorry so dark, they were Amish forts, sans-electricity.... also, sorry Mommy's so loud, she's just loud). Enjoy! Go Big Blue- Super Bowl XLII!!!!!

6 months early...

Wake up (?)

Ella would like to give a big shout-out to Aunt Kelly and Daddy for throwing a super-fun party for Mommy!

You made her feel very special on her big 3-0!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (And thanks to all who came out to play with Mommy, too! We love you!)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

I made Daddy a cake for his birthday in my brand new kitchen from Santa!

I even made it green like the Eagles Daddy's always saying naughty words about. We used sprinkles, too!

I fed some to Lobo, and he licked it right from my hand...

It tickled! Happy birtday Daddy, I love you!

Santa Clause is Comin' to Town...

Well, as I'm sure everyone's seen (since mommy's posting my santa photo EVERYWHERE), I'm slightly afraid of the big man. This Christmas, however, has made me a believer.

It all started by decorating the large tree Mommy, Daddy, and I picked out in town. At this point, I'm not too sure why we're doing this, but I'll go with it.

Then, lots of Aunts and Uncles came over (along with GaGa), and everyone was a buzz with Santa this and Santa that. "Be good" and "Santa's watching" they said. He just sounds more and more scary to me. I calmed myslef by opening some sweet gifts from Uncle Moose and Aunt Janine.

The next morning, Mommy and Daddy woke me up early. Honestly, they're like little kids sometimes. I had to wait at the top of the steps so Mommy could go downstairs and see if Santa really came. I don't know if I want to find out. Plus, I'm pretty sure she just started the coffee maker.

When I went downstairs, I was still a little apprehensive. Until I realized that the big man had brought me exactly what I was hoping for...

A kitchen- just like Mommy's- where I can make smoothies, and quiche, and lamb, and other fancy foods (as seen on Bravo's Top Chef)

Santa also visited my cousin GaGa, and he got an AWESOME drum set!

We figure we'll start practicing for next year... First song: "Santa Clause is Coming to Town". Anyone who brings us such great loot deserves a tribute, right? Merry Christmas everyone!

Ho Ho Ho!

Ella would like to wish all bloggers a Merry Christmas...

....and a Happy and Joyous 2008!

Thanksgiving is for Giving Thanks...

This year, I'm thankful for quite a few things...

Happy Cake Day, Aunt Kelly!

The Goose Whisperer

A brief synopsis of what's being going down....

Knowing how much I love the quack-quacks and the honks, Dada decided to bring some bread to the duck pond, and attract some so I could see them close up...

It worked...

We also went to the zoo with Keira and her mommy and daddy (all the animals are pretty much south for the winter, so we owned the place)...

Daddy seems to really like the Elk and Bison, I hope he didn't bring anymore bread, though...

I don't want to scare baby Keira...

She's pretty fun!

CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!

Yay! Halloween is here! Sweet! Can we go, huh, can we? Can we?

Okay, so far so good, we got some good loot. Let's take a break at play group for some trades... Do you like the Mike N Ikes? They stick in my teeth...Are you going to eat those pretzels?

Alright, round two... Had a good nap, now mommy and daddy are going to let me run through town grabbing all the candy I can! (street's closed by the way)

Okay, we're back home. Let's watch some wiggles and check out what we got!

Nothin' like relaxing on my Elmo chair with some sweet loot... Happy Halloween to all!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I just love the Fall! Today, we went to the park...

I inspected some pumpkins...

Daddy cut 'em up...

Then we put hot stuff inside, and mommy, daddy, and grammy ooohed and aaahed.


Pretty fun! I heard we go ask people for candy next! Awesome!
