These aren't the best quality because they were taken from the cell phone, but the girls came up with these ideas on their own. They wanted to ride the horse together and swim in the floor together, and they were calling for me to take pictures of them!

 

Ellery loves her bath time, and she enjoyed special bubbles from her babysitter who gave them to her for a birthday gift. The girls were happy to pose for a few pics!

 

Thanks to Noni and Lito for a fun Hallowen package including a handmade hat! They also enjoyed their musical card.

 

Ellery's Thanksgiving program at preschool was on Thursday, November 15th. Their class was hunting turkeys so they wore winter attire. I think Ellery was so bundled up that she could hardly move to dance to the music!

 

 

Halloween fun--Ellery enjoyed making the scissors costume with mommy, and she enjoyed wearing it too. She liked picking out a pumpkin at the patch and posing for pictures with her sister. She chose a spider for her pumpkin carving design, and mommy did the best she could to make a spider!

 

Berry College afternoon of fun! Ellery wasn't feeling well, but she still wanted to take pictures. We took this at Barnwell chapel in a swing and a tree!

 

The fall weather is here, so we had a fun hike last Sunday afternoon to the Berry reservoir. The girls didn't want to walk the whole way, so at one point we put them both in the stroller together. Who says a single stroller can't hold two! The other picture is from MOPS pumpkin painting today. Ellery enjoyed the outing!

 

Ellery is 4! Saturday was Ellery's birthday, and we planned a fun day for her. She didn't really talk all about her birthday for months on end like Elan did, but when it arrived, she was excited. We started the day by letting her pick breakfast at a drive through. This NEVER happens at our house, but she seemed happy with her Hardees bacon and cheese biscuit. Then we went to Chuck E Cheese and arrived when it opened. After an hour or so of fun, we went to mommy's soccer game. Then we headed home and after Elan returned from another birthday party, we opened presents and had cake. She chose her pool cake from a website online, and mommy made it an ice cream cake. One of the best parts of the whole day was playing with the styrofoam peanuts from a box!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snack week for Ellery--it was "E" week at school, so all snacks started with "E". I did not get a picture of the egg shaped rice Krispies treats, but I did have a picture of elephant ears, Elmo, and eyeballs. What fun!

 

Last week on October 1st, Elan was on fall break so Ellery got to skip school so we could go to the Chattanooga children's museum for a fun day with our friends! Ellery had a great time, and we got some great pictures too!

 

Elan's birthday was fun for the whole family since we had not been to the Pocket all summer. The water was freezing (as always) but Ellery didn't seem to mind. Crazy girl!

 

 

Ellery's first day of school on August 13th. She was excited, and so was Ellia so Ellia had to get in the picture too!

 

Noni and Lito came to visit the end of August and beginning of September, and we went to Home Depot to make a football goal post. Lito was a great help to Ellery! We also enjoyed seeing the water wheel at Berry College.
