Ella's first Christmas

Despite the very snowing conditions, we were able to make it over to Spokane for Christmas this year! We thought there was a lot of snow in Tacoma but Spokane had 3 to 4 feet! Anyways, we were very excited to be able to have the whole family together for the first time in a couple of Christmases. Here are just a few of the pictures from Christmas Day.

Ella got a very pretty snow globe!

Ella with Great Grandpa and Daddy!

Ella and Auntie Missy!

Melissa came over for our holiday party to help me get ready and we took the opportunity to take a few cute pictures of the two of them together!

Ella with Santa!

This is Ella's first time meeting Santa, and she really liked him! I wish the clarity of this pic was better but oh well you can get the idea!

Getting ready for Christmas!

We just couldn't resist getting Ella all bundled up in her winter clothes and going for a short (very short) walk in the first snow!
As You can see I am a much better photographer than Jon is!
Jon did an excellent job decorating our house with lights this year! The photograph does it no justice at all!
What was I saying about being a good photographer? . . . I had the toughest time trying to get Ella to stay still long enough for a good shot. So these are the best I could do!

4 months!

These shots are just Ella hanging out in her bumbo!

This one, however, is my favorite b/c we were changing her and just loved that her tights made her little belly pudge out! She looks like a chubby little ballerina, so cute! (Beans - don't hate me when your all grown up for saying that!)

Random day trip to Belfair

This was just a random day trip to the peninsula. Nothing to exciting but not a bad day!
