A Sledding Awhile Ago...

November 27th was a pretty snowy morning.

So after hearing, once again, that Anna had her "Piggy Pajamas" on...

and Ellie had gotten dressed all by herself...

we got in the car to take Anna on her first REAL sledding experience.

She was ready!

Ellie and Daddy went first...

and it went fabulously.

Anna and Mommy went next.

and it definitely did NOT go fabulously. Oops.

Ellie was having blast!

And Anna was DONE (even after a second try with Daddy).


Going to try again this weekend....HOPEFULLY!!!!

We Elfed.

You ALWAYS need...

My good friend Jess and I went a quilt retreat
about a month ago...

You ALWAYS need at least one good weekend away...
and about a month to post about it.

This is Jess.
You ALWAYS needs to get at least one pic of Jess quilting.

This is the food table.
You ALWAYS need a picture of the food table.

You ALWAYS need a "hold the camera yourself" picture.

You ALWAYS need a picture that has a HUGE story behind it.

You ALWAYS need a picture of what you worked on...
to prove you did something productive besides talk.

Thank you Jesus...

for my brown-eyed girl...

and my blue-eyed girl.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ellie's World #6

Last weekend I got to go to Grandma & Grandpa Larsen's house.
ALL. BY. MYSELF.

I got to bring my camera...This is ME!

This is Grandma!

This is my shoe.

I brought my purse...

my ring...

and I'm still wearing my Halloween costume.
(I wore it ALL weekend because Mommy wasn't here
to tell me I couldn't wear it.)

Grandma & Grandpa took me to Byerly's and
this picture of me with a sprinkle from my donut on my nose.

This is Uncle Jeremy & Auntie Ambar.

This is Ambar's coffee from Caribou.
Mommy growled when she saw my picture, I think she's thirsty.

This guy was at Byerly's.
Anna said "Icky" right away when she saw my picture.

I GOT TO GO SEE TOY STORY 3!!!!!!!!

This is me and Grandpa waiting for the movie to start.
The screen was as big as a HOUSE!

This is Rylee.

This is Chad and Grandpa.
Mommy growled again when she saw my picture.
She also said she was wishing SHE got to eat at Dave's.
I don't know who Dave is, but his food is yummy.

This is my NEW DRESS.
I twirl, and feel like a princess.
Look at my fancy shoes!

This is Mommy driving.
She was at a sewing thing while I was at Grandma & Grandpa's.
We drove home together.

This is my car tv.

Just call me Mommy
