Ella wouldn't eat her breakfast until after she got to play outside in the snow! She had a great time!

Random

Here are a few new pics... Our tree in all its glory. Notice no ornaments new the bottom... A walk to the playground through the woods... Ella looking for the kitty under the rug!!!! (i got it!) 14 days until Christmas!!!!!

Money

Yesterday Ella brought me a quarter while i was sitting on the couch talking to Craig. I said, "OOOooo Thank you Ella, where did you get this, mommy wants more money!" and she left and then came back with another quarter... I said "Thank you Ella! These must have fell out of daddy's pocket, find me more money!!" So she starts tugging on my clothes to follow her. So i get up and she asks for me to hold her hand and she drags me all the way across the house to the bedroom where max keeps all his spare change in a ceramic pot! She is sooooo smart!

We got our tree!

We went to Campbell's Tree Farm in Snohomish... They didnt have that many good trees.. so after being there 40 mins or so we finally settled on........the Most PERFECt tree ever! it is so cute and being sparser than normal you can see the ornaments.. we aren't finished decorating so i will wait to post a pic of that. Craig did the sawing and dragging! thanks craig!

Kitty

I dont have any pictures uploaded yet but i have a story!
Craig moved in with us 2 days ago.. He is Max's friend from Maryland who is relocating to WASHINGTON! He is staying with us until he finds a place.. Craig has a cat, Agedor (spelled?) who is a little freaked out after driving in a car for 5 days and he hid after we had people over - we couldn't find him anywhere - We thought maybe he ran away.. Ella was very concerned we couldn't find the kitty and was helping us walk around the house looking.. At one point she picked up the rug and looked underneath. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.She was sooo worried! We finally found him under our bed! Whew!

This was just a few months ago!

Ella looks so much younger in this old picture! Amazing how time flies!
