January 2013

In trying to catch up on this blog I'm going to just highlight a few things we did during January.

Elly was opening her box from Aunt Kristy and had to model ☺ My sister knows I love this sweatshirt for Elly.  If I had one my size I would certainly wear it.  It just feels like "Alaska" to me.

 
My friend and I took our girls to see a theater production of Cinderella.  Of course, the girls had to get dressed in their finest Cinderella dresses for it.  It was so well done and the girls loved it.  The highlight was getting to meet and take pictures with Cinderella and the step sisters after the play.






 
One Saturday in January we went to a sledding hill in the Black Forrest with our neighbors.  We had such a fun day.  Something that was unual to find in Germany, but we really enjoyed was a conveyer belt on the sledding hill that we could just jump on and get taken back to the top of the hill.  It was much easier for Elly too. 











 
Elly is such a sweet little girl.  I was at the doctor's office and she was just patiently waiting while she played on the iPad.

 
If I can get through the other months this quickly I might have a chance at catching up! ☺

Taking pictures...3 year old style.

Is just ONE good picture of my little girl dressed up for Christmas Sunday too much to ask for?!?
 
I guess so.☺


 




 

Holidays ~ 2012

There are always lots of things going on through the holiday season. Here is an overview of our holidays...only 7 months late. ☺

Elly loves to help in just about any way, but one of her favorite things to do it help out in the kitchen.  Here she was dipping the cookies in powdered sugar.  She took it very seriously and did a great job.




Elly was going to be a little sheep in the Christmas play at church and needed an outfit.  I couldn't find a suitable one to buy, so I took one of Sam's old tee shirts, cut off the sleeves and glued batting puffs over the entire thing.  Elly did not consider it finished until I put a tail on  her little sheep outfit. I think it all turned out pretty cute. 





Opening our stockings and one gift on Christmas Eve after coming home from a candlelight service.
