Happy Halloween....Trick Or Treat!!

What a great Halloween for Ella!

She dressed up as Snow White and had a great time trick-or-treating at all of the neighbors' homes.

Although it was pretty cold (and started snowing later in the evening), Ella was a good sport walking around for the brief time we were outside.

She also enjoyed passing out candy to all of the kids who came to our door tonight.

Earlier in the day, we got together with Nate and Mia to take a few photos of the cousins dressed up!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween with the Elders of St. Johns

We took Ella to Lisa's work tonight to "Trick-or-Treat" with the residents of St John's, and I'm not sure who enjoyed it more the kids or the elders.

 The kids of course enjoyed dressing up and getting all the good little treats that were being handed out, but the residents enjoyed interacting with the kids, and just being a part of a community. I think it's great that St John's does this for their residents.

 

 At first Ella wasn't to sure what she was supposed to do, and it took her a few minutes to get up the courage to actually go up to someone and take some candy. However once she did, she had no problem reaching in everyone's bag to grab some candy. At every stop Ella would take some candy out of her bag and put it in the residents bag as if she felt she needed to give some of her candy in order to take some of their candy. Too cute!

All in all it was a great time, and I'm sure Ella put a smile on every person she met.

Ella's 1st Haircut

I don't know how many 1 1/2 year olds get their haircut, but I think it's crazy that Ella has to have hers cut already.

Now before you get excited about cute little bangs, or bobs or whatever else you call little girl haircuts, Ella's consisted of trimming about an inch off the back to neaten it up a bit.

She was such a good girl too... Of course there were a lot of snacks involved, but she didn't fuss at all.

What a Big Girl!!

Ella was looking too cute today, I couldn't resist snapping a few shots.

Such a big girl.....

Pumpkin Picking at Stokoe Farms

Last year Ella just kind of sat there while we picked pumpkins. she looked cute, but not much interaction. This year Ella had a blast walking around looking at and talking to all the animals. I think she said "good bye" and blew kisses go every animal we came across.

She didn't have much of an interest in getting to close, and as long as they kept their difference all was well with the world. I think she was telling this guy " No No"...

The animals were fun and all but, playing with toys is always much more fun... including riding tractors with Mommy.

Look out crazy driver..
