It's a.......

We found out November 29th that we are having a GIRL!!! I kind of knew it was probably a girl but we still had a little hope for a boy! We filled a box with pink balloons to tell the kids! It was such a great day!

Gingerbread Houses

Making and building Gingerbread houses on Thanksgiving weekend! Our kids are really starting to love this tradition and Ella is becoming so creative!

Thanksgiving

I got two pictures on Thanksgiving this year! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! We were with Andrew's family this year! We had a nice dinner, played games, and watched movies! It was such a relaxing day! We have so much to be thankful for and family is number one!

Ella's Birthday

Ella is 7!! We cannot believe seven years have gone by since Ella was born! She has been such a delight! She was so excited for her birthday! She woke up to balloons and and a present to open before school. She got some new clothes and boots to wear that day!

That afternoon we went and got chick fil a and ate it with her in the lunchroom. After lunch and recess we went into her class to hand out treats! Her teacher has each kid right a birthday card and makes it into a book for them and then the kids each had to go around and say one nice thing they like about Ella or a quality. It was really fun to hear what the kids said! I wish I would have taken a picture of the board after with all of the list! They then sang happy birthday and the teacher turned on Disney songs and they had a little dance party while everyone finished their cards. We handed out candy bars to the class! I decided that is what I am going to do every year! They are so easy and then the teacher can decide if she wants them to eat them or take them home and eat them and there isn't a mess!

That night we went to dinner with my parents to Chili's, per Ella's request! She loves Chili's! 

After we got home she went straight to her presents! She had been so excited all day!

She is pretty easy to buy for and usually has a running list of things she wants!

She loves legos! And I had to put up two of this one because of facial expressions!

The next night we had my family over to open presents and have cake. We later had a party with Andrew's family to celebrate both Ella and Easton's birthdays!
