Santa Claus Parade

We went to the Santa Claus parade today. It was great, but crazy busy and long (almost two hours). The weather was beautiful and Ella was a trooper and seemed to really like the parade and seeing Santa. When we got home she set up a parade with her toys so that we could all play parade. 

Santa just happened to be at the restaurant we went to after the parade.

Little Philanthropist

Paul's office did the pro-bono design for a new cancer facility and asked Ella to make a picture that they could hang on the wall to cheer people up. She was really proud of her picture and excited to know that it would help cheer people up.

Glow Worm

Ella got a little glow stick and thought it was pretty cool.

Getting so big...

This morning Ella was washing her hands in the sink and said to me: "Momma, I don't need a boost anymore. I can reach all by myself." She's getting so big! We used to have to lift her up to wash her hands, now she's fine with just her stool. Sigh.
