Our little family had so much fun enjoying the Temple Square lights this year! We made our annual trip to see the lights but this time we decided to take the train and Ella loved riding it. She has never been on a train before so this was a first. I can tell that this year is going to be so much fun because she is starting to understand what "Christmas" is and "Santa."
This silly girl would not hold still for a picture but luckily the weather was pretty nice when we went and so at least she isn't crying.
Our Christmas tree was scaled down by a few feet but I still had a blast decorating it.
This little girl had a birthday and my sweet Ella is now 3 YEARS OLD!
You can see that she is full of life and enjoys being busy and having fun. She loves nursery, friends, dance, wrestling with dad and playing with mom's makeup! Ella has a huge vocabulary and she is a social bug!! Ella is officially potty trained and she has learned to make her bed and say her prayers!
Even when Ella can't help put the leaves in the bags, she will certainly be there to welcome you when you put them into the garbage can. (Notice the book she is holding)
It was a first for Ella to go ice skating as well! She gave it a good try and after about 30 minutes she was done. She loved having her uncles carry her around the rink and "go faster."
For Ella's 3rd birthday I braved a birthday party and we had a great time. Ella isn't quite to the age where she cares for or has a preference on what the theme of the party is, so I took charge and we did a "Ella and Mini Mouse Clubhouse" theme. It turned out really cute and although Ella could care less how much effort I put into the birthday cake, I must say I was pretty proud of myself! I am not sure that 4 1/2 hours for a cake is worth it but it was fun to do!
The birthday spread!
It was so cute. I made a pair of mickey/minnie ears for each of the kids (had 10 kids there) and then we played a game where each kid had to find a piece of cheese to get their grab bags. The kids where so good and so cute with their little ears on.
This little munchkin is so stinkin cute and we love having her energetic, full of life, happy little smile in our family. Ella 3 year stats: 28 lbs (25%) Height: 36.5"(50%)
