It all starts with first position....

Man, first postion is tough. Thank goodnes we got it. Could've been there all day!

We spent the whole day in our new giant pool!


It was pretty awesome!

Ella's Gonna Be Here a While....

Greetings from sunny Westwood, NJ! We had about a foot of snow overnight, and Ella's helping shovel. Here's a riddle for ya:
How do you drive a 3 year old crazy? Give her a spoon to shovel with. Thanks, Grammy : ) The hot chocolate made up for it all, though! Yum!

The Little Princess....

Enough said.

A Year in Review

Ok, so I'm a year old now, and I should get to post my own blog....
So far, I was born.....

I met my family. They're pretty cool.

They brought me home to sleep...

....and sleep.....

....and soon it was time to party with my big sister. She taught me how to roll~ probably the most underrated mode of transportation.

Then I met my big cuz, Gavin. He ALWAYS makes me laugh!

That's when I realized how fun it is to laugh and smile....

I do that with my family A LOT!

They poured water on my head... That was weird, but I got Godparents- who I LOVE!

Soon, I learned how to eat veggies and all kinds of yummy stuff! I LOVE meatballs : )

A few random facts about me...
I'm a princess...

I love to tumble and move....

bathtime is my fave!

I loved when I started walking, but the best day...

...was Ella's first day of school! I finally got my hands on all the loot- awesome! I love my sister, but in all honesty, 3 year olds do not do well with sharing. Things get taken from my hands A LOT!

This was the BEST year ever! I'm so happy to be here with all you people, and I can't wait to start runnin'!
Happy Birthday to me! Baby Mae!

Happy Birthday, Maelle Catherine! We LOVE you!

Ella's Christmas Recital

Mae's Walking Folks

Turn you head a bit to watch this....sorry.

Ella Just Visited Santa

Holiday Fun!

It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!

Ella's Ballet Debut!

Ella's ballet class had a little show for the parents, and she did SUCH A GREAT JOB! She was the star of the show!

Ellalina Ballerina

I became a ballerina today, and I think I have it all figured out....

Being a good dancer takes dedication, discipline,

attention to detail, grace,

and being friggin' adorable doesn't hurt, either!

Fairy Mae

Just hangin' out doin' my Fairy thing.....

Super Gav!

So Gav had a Superhero Birthday Party, and EVERYONE got into it! Everyone.

Mae and I decided that we'd dress as fairies because everyone knows that fairies work only for good. So that makes them superhero's right?

Uncle Moose was so strong dressed as the Hulk that he could lift fairy Mae.... Strong!

I ate Gav's cake like a superhero-fairy, too! Yum!

Happy Super Birthday, Gav! You're a superhero in our eyes!
