When we came home from lunch the girls wanted icecream

I think Lily liked it!

We made it to Oregon! We've been here for a few days now but we've been super busy so I haven't been on the computer much. My laptop doesn't have internet yet so I don't have any pictures, but I wanted to blog a quick story..Tonight I was putting away laundry and my Mom and Lily were "helping" me when Ella ran in and yelled something is wrong! something is wrong! Two daddies! Come seeee! So my Mom went with her and they walked into the library where Joe was and Ella said, see?! and then into the kitchen where my brother was and she ran up to him and grabbed his leg. See two Daddies! Then she noticed it wasn't her Dad and she freaked out! Now she won't even look at him..haha

We accidentally left Ellas puppy within reach of Grandma and Grandpas puppy, and she chewed off the eyes and nose! Ella was pretty sad so Grandma let her open an early Christmas present. It was a cute bear that turns into a pillow. Ella loves it and hasn't asked for her puppy again so I love it too!

Lily helped us decorate Ellas birthday cake

She really enjoyed the liquorice!

Ella all ready to go to the doctor. We got both girls a check up today.

Ella is in the 98% for height, and 80 something for weight...so she's a big kid!

Her party was candyland themed so she was wearing these cute candy overalls, but she had a little accident and wasn't able to wear them to the party. At least I got this cute shot!

Lily also had on the cute overalls!

I love matching outfits on my girls!

Lily looks so cute with a bow on, too bad she won't leave them on!

The Candyland Birthday cake!

Annie and Lily

Ella was so excited for her party. When she saw the cake and then got in the car filled with balloons she just kept saying, Oh I am so sited! (excited)

Ellas birthday really isn't until February. All her friends birthdays were in December or November and she asked me over and over when she would get her party. So we let her have this little party with all her friends. She will miss them a lot.

Ella was too funny trying to blow out the candle. She kept blowing upwards!

The kids at the party table

Ella was really excited to get this Barbie!

And this lip gloss from Aunt Dawn

She was excited for everything she got!

Santa

Our very busy Saturday

First off here is the picture we had taken last Saturday of the girls with Santa..

Ella was terrified and wanted as far away from Santa as possible!

Saturday morning I was wrapping up glass stuff in the kitchen and I noticed a Harmons ad that said free pictures with Santa. So we hurried and got the girls in some Christmas outfits and out the door we went! I get the picture back on Wednesday, Ella walked right up to Santa and sat on his lap, took the candy cane and smiled for the camera, I was so shocked! Lily also did great, but she loves people so I wasn't too worried.

Ella with her Daddy and her new puppy which has to go everywhere!

We were in a hurry and Lily is very busy so we just got her ready and put her in her seat, I was going to take pictures of her by the tree when we got home but it never happend, so this is all I have of her in her cute outfit!
Ella loves to have her picture taken, and she is so cute I love to take her picture! So here are three very cute pictures which probably look exactly the same to anyone but her Mother..and her Grandma Lyn..

When my parents were here, my Mom thought it would be cute to get a picture of Ella with these cute Christmas people..well she remembered and as soon as we walked in to the store she ran right over and said, take my picture Mom!

There was another display and she didn't want this little one left out!

After pictures with Santa we hurried home and got ready for the birthday party.

It was at Jungle Gyms and this was Ellas first time there..She loved it!
Jackson the birthday boy and Ella

Doesn't Lily look so big on this ride?!

Probably Ellas favorite ride

Lily loved the balloons

Ella picked out a little puppy with the tickets she won playing some of the games

After the birthday party we hurried home to attend the Ward Christmas party. It started at 6:30 and we didn't leave the birthday until 6:30, so we were a bit late but we made it

The girls were a little busy during the program they put on so Joe and Papa Phil took them around and took pictures in front of some of the cute decorations

Our family in front of the cute gingerbread house

yes we all look a little tired..it was a LONG day!

Joe took the girls out in the snow today...Lily took a few steps and face planted!

Don't worry Mom, she was happy after the snow got wiped off!
