At the beginning of the month we had a fun trip to Scheel's with Gigi.
Our big guy with the cutest belly.
Elizabeth and Matt invited Ellie to the aquarium. She had a blast.
Ellie thinks scuba divers are the coolest so scuba diving Santa was a hit.
Ellie is so sweet with Ryan. She always asks if she can help pick him up from daycare.
Ellie and I went to a little Christmas party at My Gym. She had a great time.
Ry Ry really likes the swing lately.
Amy and Doug gave Ellie this inflatable Olaf for her birthday and she adores it. She was especially excited to play with it in the snow.
He has the cutest expression when he's looking at something interesting.
Ellie's Friday play class had a Christmas performance. It was so cute and she did a great job. We are so proud of this girl.
She is looking so grown up to me.
We made Ryan's family poster for his daycare classroom.
Ryan went to meet Santa for the first time! Ellie was very clear that she didn't want to go so we went one morning while she was at school.
Ellie came with me to Horizon Academy's holiday program. She did so well in the audience.
Lauren came over with Christmas crafts and gifts. We love the Franks family.
She still loves her bouncy castle.
We went to see the Christmas lights at Deanna Rose.
Ryan had his first trip to urgent care and was diagnosed with croup. The next night we were back there with Ellie for scarlet fever. Fingers crossed we stay healthy for awhile.
Ellie and I went on a little date to Scheel's. She is at such a fun age for going places. Chris and I both try to get one on one time with her as much as we can.
Ryan is getting so good with his hands. He kept himself busy tugging on that canopy for ten minutes.
Ellie got a gift card to Target for her birthday so we went on a shopping trip. She had so much fun looking at all of the toys and making her choice. Thanks Aunt Donna!
Ellie and I spent the day running errands together. She found this Snoopy snow globe at Home Depot and was so delighted with it. I love her easy to please, enthusiastic personality.
Lately she covers her mouth when she giggles and it's so cute.

We loved having Uncle Alex in Kansas City. He is so sweet with the kids. It was a sad day when he left for Santa Fe but he promised to visit again soon.
