Holiday Cheer AND Half Birthday Celebration!

I just had to share this one...AWWWWWW...Love them :) Doesn't Jagger look really big there :(
Ella had her 1/2 birthday celebration at school on Monday. We took brownies (her choice) and watched them talk about her and sing to her. She was lots of fun to watch and she really enjoyed getting the attention ;)

This is the circle of months and the candle in the middle is the sun. They had her stand up and walk in a circle each time they told a story about her until she had been around 4 and a 1/2 times.


All of Gracie's concert pics are blurry but I was hoping you could still see her pretty hair. We got haircuts the same day so her lady curled her hair. It was really cute and she really liked it a lot. She tried to not wash her hair for days..... :) I told her I would try really hard to do it the same way with nice clean hair and that she might start to stink if she waited any longer to shower...She agreed!

Holiday Cheer

My pics didn't pop up in order so we will start with the last one first :) This is the "finished" gingerbread house.....Yep, your impressed aren't you?! The girls were not happy when we got home and there was only one house. I thought (silly me) that we could decorate one together as a family. I was wrong. And since there was only one house they would not let me follow instructions on setting the house up before decorating.....
Ella working on the house...ALONE. No Gracie...


This should have been the first pic. That was you could tell by the look on Gracie's face on how this project was going...I think she helped her sister for about 20 seconds and then said forget it. Oh well - we attempted and failed this year. Maybe next? Or maybe it was just such a mess that we will move on to gingerbread men?


Jagger really loves to stand at the TV when the girls are playing Wii...it stresses me out so I am always moving him so that he does not damage his eyes or brain cells....



This is for the grandmas who know how much Ella loves to cook! She was so excited to see these at the store...So far she has made eggs with them ;)
