Christmas (Better Late Than Never)

Ella was a very lucky girl this Christmas. She got to spend some time with her Great Grandma Jo and Great Grandpa (Pa Pa Art), who came to visit from Pennsylvania. We enjoyed spending time with them and Ella has no problem getting spoiled by extra grandparents. Santa weighed down his sleigh with huge presents for Ella. She got a real big girl bed with a bookshelf and drawers and Dora bedding to go with it. She got a Trampoline and a Playhouse*. As if that wasn't enough she also got a bicycle, which she is prepared to ride "all the way to Grandma's House".


Waking Up in a new Big Girl Bed on Christmas Morning and Hopefully for many more mornings to come. It is one of my Resolutions to train Ella to sleep in her own bed all night. Wish me luck!






Everybody took a turn jumping on the Trampoline. I'm the only one who got caught with photographic evidence. It is actually just as much fun as you might remember. Even with all of its safety features Ella has managed to find dangerous stunts to preform on her trampoline. She enjoys walking around the edge on the OUTSIDE of the net, and she has mastered flips.

*Playhouse- formerly Papa's deer blind. As if the yard didn't look white-trashy enough with the trampoline and big blue pool we now have a camouflage playhouse. I have requested that it be painted a nice girly color like yellow or purple.
