Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent a few days with Daddy's family - Mima, Papa, Aunt Amanda, Missy, Bob, Greyson and all of the dogs! We also got in a visit with our friends from Kansas City - Chad, Nat, Emily & Ryan. Ryan was camera shy but Mommy got a good one of the girls! We've been taking these pics since they were barely able to sit up! Good times! Ella even took a cue from Aunt Amanda checking out the ads for Black Friday. Give her a little time...she will be up before the sun comes up ready to shop in no time!!

Seems like no time before Christmas...and Christmas break!!! We are already making up plans for finals! Hard to believe! Putting up the Christmas tree and Ella is over the moon! It is her favorite time of year!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Ella was Minnie Mouse this year! She loved it! The costume has sentimental value because it was Aunt Danielle's when she was this age...so long ago! (She is going to be a Sweet 16 in a few months!!)

Ella had a great time at her party at school on Friday. Then she stayed with one of my students, Demi, who watched her while Matt & I went to a fun Halloween party with friends from work. Then Saturday we drove to Bowling Green so Mima & Papa Skillz & Aunt Amanda could see Ella dressed up. We went trick or treating there...not that we needed to b/c Papa and Amanda hooked her up with LOTS of candy. But we had to go for the fun of it. She had a great time! A LONG, fun Halloween!!
