Ice Skates

Holland has a trial ice skating rink downtown. Ella was able to use her ice skates along with Aunt Julie's sleigh, being pulled by Papa. Next time Papa needs to wear his skates too.

Christmas 2010

Ella helped decorate our Christmas Tree!
However, only the bottom branches had the pleasure of hanging ornaments and candy canes.



Ella recieved nice gifts from "Santa" this year.
The baseball glove was mommy's attempt to divert attention from more Disney Princesses.

Thanksgiving 2010





Ella and I had the pleasure of joining Peter and his family in Wisconsin the weekend after Thanksgiving. While we were there, Ella had a well supervised ride on a beautiful horse named Stetson. She also was able to get a pictures with Santa & Mrs. Claus after finding a Christmas tree. On the way home, we made a quick stop in Chicago and went ice skating at Millennium Park with Ella's new ice skates! She still finds it much more entertaining to fall than to actually skate.
