Christmas and Bowling...

We had our Christmas exchange while in Idaho since we won't be seeing each other around Christmas this year. We had a blast watching the kids open presents. Patrick was especially entertaining this year. Here are a few pictures of the event. Patrick thought he would take a little nap in the doll crib! Ella's first present to open... Emily sure likes paper...even better than the present at times. =) Ella had her first bowling trip this past weekend. We went cosmic bowling! She seemed to have a blast...from what I could tell anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ella rolled over for the first time...only I missed it. I put her to bed on the far side of the bed and woke up to her pushing me off the bed. I got up and noticed she was on her tummy...only I put her to bed on her back. Apparently some time during the night she rolled over. Sorry for the bad picture. I had to sneak the camera to catch her smile. Isn't she cute? =) This picture is from Tuesday. Brady dressed her in her lucky snow shirt to help him get snow for skiing. Apparently it worked... That would be Tanner...stuck in the snow I heard.

Thanksgiving Trip

Ella's first airplane ride!! We stayed with our friends for a couple days when we got to SLC. Ella loved Masha and Ty. She smiled really big when Masha picked her up the first time. Ella's first road trip. We drove from SLC to Bear Lake and she slept the whole way (with the exception of eating once of course). And more sleeping once we arrived... This is one of the cutest pictures ever!! The family got a Wii for Christmas...lets just say that we all have Wii related injuries. =) That's it for now. I will post more in a few days. Hopefully we can actually get a picture of Ella smiling. She won't smile once the camera comes out at this point.

For the photo hungry...

Patty came for a visit last week! Happy Halloween! Our form of handing out candy...
