Halloween Night 2011

In the beginning of the October I took Ella to the Halloween store and she picked out a Minnie Mouse costume. She was all about it until we went to the Disney Store last week and fell in love with the Sleeping Beauty Dress. As you can see Sleeping Beauty won!

B is my kitty cat.

Here we are "trick or treating" with Ella's friends from the neighborhood. Tons of laughing and giggling from those girls. Notice Bridgette is right up in the front. No Fear from her. She did awesome for her first time trick or treating.

Before we left to go out into the neighborhood. Gosh its hard to take a good picture of the both of them.

At Jake's office they had trick or treating for the kids. I brought the girls over there and we went office to office getting lots of awesome candy. Ella made us proud by how she would loudly say "trick or treat" before picking out her candy followed by a "thank you."

Pumpkin Carving 2011

Ella is very proud of her kitty pumpkin which she decorated herself.

I think Ella was kinda grossed out by seeing the insides of the pumpkins. She wouldn't even tough it. I fished through all the insides for the seeds and then roasted them. They turned out excellent, Ella does like the seeds.

Show Off day at Ballet (last week)

It was show off week at Ella's Ballet school last week. Which means that parents and sibling get to go inside the classroom and watch and take pictures of our little ballerina's. At the end of the class Ella got to pick a pumpkin and got a trophy. She was very pround of it

I couldn't forget B- for Boo!

Family Photos at the Beach

Just got our pictures back from our family photo shoot in Kirkland. We barely beat the rain that day. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

On Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. Usually we walk away from these patches and think we could have gotten better pumpkins at the grocery store but this year our pumpkins are pretty perfect. Now we just have to carve them. We definately will miss Paul and Lindsey's help.

Bridgette telling daddy, "this is the one!" She even gave it a kiss later.

B checking out the big orange pumpkin.

B loves playing in the car.

Geting bigger

Ella making bracelets.

Ella took a empty diaper box and turned it into a kitty condo for her cat, Meow Meow. Daddy helped her. She had so much fun coloring, using glitter glue, pom, poms, and stickers.

Happy as a clam!

She is such a big girl, she is wearing Ella's 2T clothes.

Ella's 1st day of Preschool

Today was Ella's 1st day of Preschool at Holy Family Preschool. She is in the afternoon class with 5 other kids in her class. I was so nervous for Ella to start Preschool, thinking that she would cry and miss me the whole time. Well, it was just the opposite. I cried dropping her off and picking her up, she never cried at all. I was so proud of her. Ella said she had a great time and is ready to go back on Thursday. Since today was the first day, her teacher handed out gift bags and Starbucks cards to all the parents. I thought that was pretty nice. Salted Caramel Mocha here I come!
