Elly 10 months old






She is so fun! She is 16.3 lbs. and 26 inches of fun! She is a little shorty...just like mom so far.  We are now putting ponytails and pigtails in her hair much to her dismay :) She has 4 teeth...two bottom and the two side tops ones. She is a vampire just in time for the last twilight movie to come out. She is very mobile...she climbs all the way to the top of the stairs. I won't let her try going down yet. She scares me. She loves to smile, laugh, and dance! She really loves the backyardigans. She gets all excited when that comes on and she dances right along to all the music. She loves when her dad plays his guitar. She pulls herself up on the furniture and is so proud of herself that she can stand there like a big girl. She says mama, dada, baba, yaya, and hi. She is a really good little girl. She really loves daddy...she definitely prefers him to anyone else in the family. He loves that she is such a daddy's girl. She gives good kisses and likes to bonk heads. She waves backwards and loves to talk. We are so blessed to have her in this house. Love this girl.

Halloween 2012






Halloween was super fun this year. The Monday before Halloween the kids didn't have school so we spent the day getting ready for our family Halloween fun. We always do a Halloween dinner and this year we added makeup! We were all zombiefied and scary. We ate mummy dogs, bloody intestines, and worms...and drank blood with a hand floating in it. We carved our pumpkins and had a great time doing it. On Halloween we had just the 2 girls and Tony had to work so we headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Olsen's house. Grandma made Melissa and Elly's costumes, so we got them all dressed up and headed to the church for a Halloween party and then hit the neighborhood for some trick or treating. SO fun! Elly was a beautiful little snow white and Melissa was a beautiful Belle (She's waited 3 years to be Belle) Steve was the Lone Ranger and he went trick or treating with us. He didn't know quite how to respond when someone asked Melissa how fun it was to have Daddy out trick or treating with her. Neither of them responded and they walked away. Haha...later she was like, uh he's not my dad.  It was so fun and I'm glad we got celebrate! Love Halloween :)
