Ella's Birthday Weekend!

Ella had a grand old time at her birthday party. We invited all of her friends to a show at the Buckstaff Planetarium, followed by refreshments and hover craft rides at Mommy's work. I think about 17 kids showed up, some with parents in tow, and everyone had a good time. Here is Ella at the Plantarium before her guests arrival:

And here is a clip from riding the hover craft down the halls of Halsey Science Center:

I have some regular pictures as well...

The Happy Family

The gang at the table...

I almost posted some pictures of Ella and the baby (still in my tummy) but thought that perhaps the world does not need to see my stretch marks. I think I chose wisely...

Empty Promises

OK, I said I would post pictures of Ella's birthday, but I am a damn liar. Things have just been busy and I have been tuckered-out!

Ron left Thursday for D.C. and we have guests from Winona, MN. this weekend, so although I am still quite busy, I do have a minute to post some January 11 moments.

Ella and Clio sharing dessert at the Mexican restaurant. Yum!

Clio took this one of us. She did a pretty good job! We may not all be the cutest, but we certainly are happy.

And lastly, the sled full of gifts. We have finally had a chance to use that sled, too. It's fun and fast! Yeah for sledding! I can even fit on there with two kids.

Okay, back to playing doll house with Ella and Lily. We sure miss Ron and are looking forward to his return on Monday. Hope you all have a super weekend.

Christmas Eve

Happy Christmas Eve! In the process of clearing off my fancy new camera I found some pictures to post. Here goes:
