Ella goes to visit Evan.

Okay, she also went to visit Amy, Ken, Darcy, Gabe, Steve, and Kristen. I think her favorite part was Evan's potty training, she found it pretty amusing. She also loved the giraffe's at the LA Zoo. Thanks to Auntie Amy, Ella dyed her 1st Easter eggs too. It's evident from Evan and Ella holding hands on the way home from the airport when we got there how much they love each other!

Daddy takes Ella to California...without Mommy

Damon was a brave soul and took Ella to California by himself. All kidding aside, they had a great time and Ella was a perfect angel most of the week. They played on the golf course, A LOT. Papa and Tutu also took them to the Living Desert where Ella did some crafts with Daddy and posed as a rabbit. What a cutie!

Ella in Spokane

This week Ella and I ventured to Spokane. We walked in the Riverfront Park, went to Mobius Kids playplace, and went to a yummy French Cafe! Here are some pics from our adventures from the other side of the state.

SNOW!!!

Well, she didn't like snow as much as we had hoped, but it was cute to watch anyway.

Ella's 1st Birthday

We celebrated with all our friends in Seattle Ella's 1st Birthday! She got to eat her first cupcake, which she savored! She wasn't too interested in opening presents, so thank goodness her cousins Sadie and Cooper were there to help. But let's be honest, the parents had more fun celebrating surviving the 1st year!

Ella in December

We've had so much fun this December celebrating everything Christmas with Ella. We took her downtown the day after THanksgiving for the Christmas parade. We headed back downtown last weekend to take her on her first carousel ride. And we took her to the Christmas tree farm and to Triple XXX Rootbeer for burgers with all our friends. She sure is loving Christmas!
