Ellie in Aunt Margie's kyaking helmet.... and yes don't bother asking, she did bang her head on the wall just like the little boy in Parenthood!

Those Poor Dolls

I have to say that I feel very sorry for Ellie's poor dolls... Not only are they force fed yogurt, peanut butter, and juice but they are also dressed up like princesses and dragged around by their hair. Wait, come to think of it, maybe that isn't so bad. Well except for the whole dragging by your hair thing!

But just the other day she was playing with her Maggie Leigh magnetic doll and she shared her breakfast... "She like yo-gut. I painting!" All over her from head to toe.

The next day Maggie Leigh got freckles... "I make baby pretty. She got freckle." She was covered in pepper.

Then the next day Maggie Leigh must have been hungry or needed some bronzer... "Mommy, I share. She like!" And there goes all of the insides of her peanut butter and honey sandwich all over Maggie!

Last night I was able to save Maggie from being smeared with mashed potatoes and peas... "No, no, no!!! Those are for Ellie. Maggie has already eaten enough."

Christmas Eve to New Year...

Sorry, these are out of order, they got mixed up in the uploading but here goes...

Princess Ellie and her stroller on Christmas morning.
Ellie's new crystal ball (aka: snow globe).
Getting cookies ready for Santa Clause on Christmas Eve night.

Go Ravens!

"Oh no... They really aren't that good, are they. Get rid of Billick and get a good quarterback, that is the answer, I'm telling you!"

Christmas Day

Looks like someone must have been a good girl this year!

"You see, Santa did come... He ate all of those cookies!"
Tea time with Shrek.
Schatzie and Ellie tearing into Christmas

Ellie in her princess dress and Ping-won watching the Christmas parade on Papoo's lap.
Ellie helping Sean open his gifts.
Ellie in her Christmas best. Looks like Christmas Day is a whirlwind of sugar and gifts and has thrown Ellie a little off of her game!
Ooh, more gifts!! Aunt Angela got her a splash around Cabbage Patch Kid. Bath tub fun... here we come!

"Thank you Aunt Angela and Uncle Jay for my new baby!"
Playing catch with Papoo.
And cutting the cheese with Meme.
Ellie was thrilled with the Little Drummer Elmo, she is giving him a drink of water here. But I think that it had to do with the fact that when mass was over on Christmas Eve we walked up to see the orchestra play and the man playing the kettle drum let her play when they were done.

When Ellie went into the den to see John she walked in, pulled up the ottoman climbed onto the couch and checked him out and sat just like him and watched The Family Guy(thank goodness she doesn't get that humor yet!).
A close-up of her sitting like her cousin... what a cutie pie!
Meme with her girls. Looks like everyone needs a little break on the day after Christmas!
Camped out watching Cinderella with her friends.
Happy Birthday Evie
We went up to Bel Air on Saturday for Evie's 2nd Birthday. Angie had it at an activity center for toddlers, what fun!!

Ellie in the moon-walk. She would run in and then run out or she would run in, jump twice, then run out. What a goober!
Dan and Gen making music.
Ellie in the big red truck... Beep, beep!

Ellie and I at lunch.
Ellie in a tube.
Evie on Thomas the birthday train. Choo! Choo!

Happy Birthday Evie! Getting 4 toddlers to sing is not that easy. But add a bunch of out-of-tune parents to to it and well, lets just say we won't be quitting our day jobs any time soon!
Happy 2008!!
