January 2009

First real snow of the year (1/19).... Ellie playing with her Snow Paints... Unfortunately the first one she choose was red and it ended up looking more like a snowy death zone than painted snow! Don't worry, we brought out the blue and green next so it wouldn't look so bad!
Snow angels!
Making snow balls.
Even Schatzie was enjoying the frosty fun!
She looks like she is up to no good!!
Decked out and ready for the snow!

Now they are under the parachute!
Ellie is all smiles despite the lack of naps that day!

First Weekend of January...

Ellie in her Barbie Bubble Bath... yes all of the barbies went swimming and I won't even tell you what it looked like when we d the tub but I will tell you that it wasn't pretty!!

Ellie and her goofy glasses on our way to Port Discovery!

Create your own donuts at The Fractured Prune before going downtown to run off all of that sugar! We had strawberry with sprinkles, blueberry with sugar, and peanut butter with peanuts just to name a few!

Circle time at Port Discovery... Ellie was very involved which surprised me, normally she is a 'stand on the sidelines and watch' kind of gal but this day she was answering questions and even volunteered to go up front (pictured here) and sing Tinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Way to go Bug!!
