Our little family

We had a nice traditional Thanksgiving here in Lake Havasu. The weather was great, it rained. We absolutely love it when it rains here because it doesn't happen very often. We started the day setting up our Christmas tree and other decorations. What better way to start off the Holiday season. Ellie was a big help. At least she thought she was. We have a plastic pool in our garage leaned up against the wall. I had it down in order to get to the Christmas boxes. Michael and I were busy doing something and when we turned around there she was in the pool, naked. I think she wanted to go for a swim. It was so funny.

Later on that evening we enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving dinner at Michael's parents house. It was soooo good. Michael's sister Amy and her husband came in from L.A. and Michael's grandparents were there as well. After dinner we took the kids for a walk down by the lake. It was nice to walk after stuffing ourselves. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now looking forward to the Christmas season. Here are some pictures from our day.

Here is some video of Emma and Ellie playing together in the kitchen.

Sister's Playing

Emma and Ellie are now starting to play together. It is sweet to watch them. Here they are playing in their tunnel.

Emma Finally Did It!

Emma is crawling!! Yea she has really taken off going all over the house. It seems as though she really knows where she is going, so cute. Also, she is getting her first tooth. I've been noticing her hands in her mouth a lot lately and last night at dinner I was able to spot the very tip coming on through. I am totally excited as Ellie didn't get her first tooth till she was 13 month old.
The girls and I had an enjoyable day. The weather here is beautiful. Mid 80's. We went for a nice walk this morning around our neighborhood. Afterwards I got the energy to wash the van. It was quite dirty and doesn't get washed very often. Emma sat nicely in her seat watching Ellie and mommy scrub and spray. Ellie kept sucking on the sponges so I hope the soap was non-toxic. We were all drenched when all was done. Emma was a little too close to the spray and got a little squirt now and then. I must say that we did a very good job. Daddy will be happy. After lunch and before naps I pushed them in their little red cars. Ellie has her car and Emma another. They both enjoy being pushed all around the back patio and I get my exercise. It is nice to wear them out so they take good naps, which they are doing now. Anyways, we had an enjoyable day together.

Ellie Singing

I took this video of Ellie yesterday. She is singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and then the ABC song. Ellie loves to sing. We listen to the primary songs on our car rides and she has gotten to where she will sing along. It is so cute.

Happy Halloween

We attended our church Trunk Or Treat and chili dinner last night. It was nice. I like that we are in just a small area for trick or treating with a two year old. Here are some pictures. Ellie was a witch and Emma just dressed in some Halloween clothes. It was a very warm night.
