Swimming, Singing and Snacks...

Elliana loves swimming at the Y pool. Here she is getting ready to get in the water.

Buzzing around on a kickboard...

Singing to Disney tunes on Wii with Taryn...

Taking a break for a snack...

Snowbound!

Yeah, yeah, it's been a while and I'm the worst. Let's get back to it, just in time for the next big snowstorm. Here are some shots of Elliana from the last one. Gotta keep those gloves clean of snow...

Mmmm, icy!

Personal igloo...

Keeping out of the elements...

Snow Day

Here are some shots from the last snowy day. Elliana was all bundled up and ready to stomp around in the snow!

Making sure it tastes ok...

Climbing through her igloo tunnel...

Celebrating the New Year with best girlfriend Taryn!

Christmas!

Here are some shots from Christmas. Elliana loved all of her presents (thank you everyone!) and had a wonderful week home with Mommy and Daddy. Here she is on Christmas Eve making sure the chimney and fireplace are all set for Santa.

Christmas morning, a new easel and bitty baby doll!

A backpack for bitty baby!

Having fun already...

First dress up dress, Princess and the Frog!

Alice in Wonderland dress, on the top of Elliana's list!

Deciding what to play with first...

A big girl bike from Papa!

Oh, Christmas Tree...

Here are some shots of Elliana decorating the tree. She even made some of her own ornaments at the library and gave them to Mom and Dad for prizes!

Hmmm, is this the right place? Maybe over there...

Cotton candy!

Mmmmmm...

Gingerbread House!

Sue and Taryn got Elliana an extra Gingerbread House Kit a week or two ago, so we went up and put it together with them. Lots of fun, and lots of candy!

Precise placement!

Mmmmm...frosting...

Don't judge...

Rudolph Books!

Sorry that I've been such a slacker. Elliana got to watch the classic Rudolph movie the other night and loved it. She might love the mini-Rudolph books she got even more.

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer...

Studying hard...

Looking cute...
