New Years!


Happy New Years everyone! I'm writing this a few days late- but I hope you all had as fun a new years as we did.
We are starting out this year with Ella being 2 years and 3 months old and weighing 30 lbs, and Zoe being 8 and a half months old and weighing 18lbs. These girls are getting so big!
We went to a party that was about an hours drive away. It was a kid friendly party-with a DJ and a bounce house and lots of yummy food.
Uncle Jake got Joe to dance in the YMCA and then Jake wussed out on him. Joe still did the dance with a lot of enthusiasm.
Don't tell anyone that Ella wore boots in the bounce house...
Zoe had a lot of rolls to chew on :)

Zoe and Seth had a good time hanging out together- they are buds - they sat on the dance floor for a bit and watched the lights- rode some toys, ate- ya know baby stuff :)

Christmas 2010

We did so much for Christmas this year! So many parties and seeing Santa- it was a bit overwhelming, but we survived :)
Here is a picture of Ella reading her dinosaur book- its actually an encyclopedia- but she loves it- she always has it out and pretends to read the book and talk about the green ones-
Here are most of the grandkids at Heather and Jakes house. We had a gingerbread making contest and sang carols around the piano. Santa even showed up with some pre-Christmas presents!
Santa even came to the girls swimming lessons this year. The girls must have been really good this year to have had Santa visit them two times.
Zoe started crawling and standing just recently- she was very excited about being able to get the tree! Here is Ella giving her a hug :)

The girls had very pretty Christmas dresses this year- They looked like little angles!
Ella's biggest present this year was her drums. Here she is showing Grandpa how its done!
