Computer's Down...But We're Still Having Fun!

So, the computer's been down and in the shop for over a week -- which means Mommy can't download her pics and update the blog! But Nana and Mimi have been kind enough to send along some pics of their adventures with Ella -- so here's a glimpse. We've also all been sick recently -- cough, fever and ear infection for Ella -- and poor Mimi has picked it up too :( But I think we are finally all doing better! Just in time for Santa!

Getting ready to splash in the puddles.

Making gingerbread men with Nana. She now loves singing the gingerbread song -- "Run, Run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" All day long...

Busy at work.

The gingerbread man is hungry.

Hanging them on the tree. They looked so pretty when Mommy and Daddy came home! (p.s. -- Ella has decided that Mama and Dada are now "Mommy" and "Daddy" (or sometimes "Brian" :). Out of the blue, two weeks ago, she changed our names!

Then, it snowed!!! And Mimi helped me make a big frosty...

...and a little frosty!

We hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season! After a week of being cranky because of being sick, Ella is back to her normal funny, wonderful self! She told me all about Santa tonight and loves to sing Christmas carols. She normally says that Santa is bringing a "neigh" and a "kitchen" but she told me over and over tonight that Santa is bringing her an "airplane that goes zoom in the sky." Hmmmmm....
