Christmas Princess Ella

I can't believe how grown up she looks!

My mom got all the girls in the family the same dress for Christmas. I asked my mom if Ella could get it before so she could wear it to church today. Ella was so excited and kept telling me to do her hair like Princess Belle. So we curled her hair in wringlets and put on her sparkly black dancing shoes. She was so excited to go to church and show all of her friends in nursery her new Christmas dress. The only way we got her to take a picture with her actually smiling we had to tell her that we were sending the picture to Belle. She couldn't wait to smile, and show Belle how pretty she was. I hope everyone has a wonderful week this week, and enjoys Christmas!

First Time Sledding

Enjoying the snow with no glovers!

Daddy pushing her down all by herself!

Look no hands! So brave!

Snow tastes so much better when you are playing in it!

We took Ella sledding for her first time a couple of Saturdays ago. We have a little park by our house, and they have the perfect little hills for her to go on. She went with Zach and me the first couple of times, but then got brave enough to go by herself. She even went down without holding on. She took her glovers off (in the words of Ella they are glovers not gloves) then put her hands in her pocket and went down the hill. She even ate the snow and thought it was so good. She had so much fun, and can't wait to go back!

I am finally posting again. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We spent Thanksgiving with my family here in Salt Lake, and will be in St. George for Christmas with our other family. We haven't been up too much just working and getting ready for the holidays. I love this time of year, amd everything that goes along with it. Zach's mom and Chanlie came up one weekend and we ate lots of food, went and saw the lights at Temple Square, and watched lots of movies. It was a fun and relaxing weekend. I had my second appointment last week, and we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It was strong, and Ella was so excited. I think she got excited because we were excited. She keeps telling me that she is pregnant with baby sister and I am pregnant with baby brother. We will find out if she is right on January 7th. We are so excited! It is amazing how much faster the second one has been. I swear with Ella we were waiting forever for that big ultrasound, and with this one it is almost here. I can't wait to find out so we can get everything prepared. I hope everyone is doing well, and I will post soon with some more pictures of Ella bug!
