Night time with Ella

I guess she thought Danny's sweater needed a princess touch!

Reading . . what else???

The Big Sisters!

Ella's friend, Ella, just became a big sister last weekend! I took Ella over to play in hopes of giving Renate, new mommy of two, a chance to rest! They are so fun to watch! Welcome to the club Renate :)

Hello Griffin!!

Renate & Mike (parents to Ella's friend Ella) welcomed their second baby - a little boy named Griffin - last weekend! The girls and I have gone down the past couple days to hang out! He's sooooo sweet!! It makes me want a boy!! (Don't worry - there are no more Brindisi babies in our future.)

Chug-a-lug!

She just started drinking out of a sippy cup! I guess we've skipped the bottle.

Singing with Elmo

Ella got a sing-a-long Elmo radio with a microphone for Christmas! She loves just speaking into the microphone saying "mommy, baby, daddy" - those are still her fav words :)
Image

Not yet, please!

She looks too old whenever she puts her backpack on!

Brownie Bowl

She wouldn't "lick" the bowl - she used a spoon :)

Looky Looky!!

Look what we woke up to this morning! As of 7am we had about 3 inches and it was still snowing! It's supposed to stop for the good part of the day but pick back up again tonight! Danny made the trek to work and the girls and I are settling in for a snow day! Too bad Ella really doesn't enjoy the snow yet!!

I told Ella we were staying in today, so she settled in with the paper :)

Dressing Your Blessing

Hello all . . I just wanted to send a note to everyone that a friend of mine, and her husband, just launched a website with new and gently used infant and children's clothing. I made a link of it on the right side of the blog. Please take a look next time you need some new clothes! She's got great deals on name brand clothes!

Tired Babies

Layla & Toby cruising through the mall together . .very tired!! We did our mall walking after seeing the movie and it was a very long day and they hung on as long as they could!!

Moms Morning Movie

Every Thursday we have a movie theater that shows movies in the morning for moms to come with their kids! It is sooo nice because no one cares if your baby cries or that you bring in a stroller, and they'll even deliver food to your seat! Suprisingly none of the babies/toddels made a peep throughout the entire movie! A group of us went together and saw Enchanted! I must say, this was a good movie, for kids and adults!! And believe it or not Ella sat through the WHOLE thing and Layla slept through most of it! I am so blessed :) The best part though was that the movie starts out as a cartoon and Ella began singing "heigh-ho" . . it was pretty darn cute!!

Danny got a new camera for Christmas and I am enjoying taking even more pics than before - if that is possible!! I love this one I got today!!!

Royal Tea Party!

Ella got a princess tea set today! Does anyone else notice a trend happening - it seems like everything now HAS to be Disney Princess and I think she can smell it a mile away in a store :) Danny was the guest of honor!
Image

Such the hostess! She set everything out in it's place!
Image

Drinking straight from the pot!!

Image

Double fisting it!! That was some good tea :)

Kisses for a wonderful party!
