Leavenworth

We went to the Leavenworth Christmas Lighting Festival this past weekend...wow what an amazing place to be during the holidays. There was snow on the ground and the spirit of Christmas was everywhere. It was colder than we had anticipated but we stayed as bundled up as we could and had such a fun time. Ella went sledding for the first time and saw Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Santa Claus. I can't wait to take the girls in the coming years what a great family tradition to start:)

Santa Baby

Ella was not as big of a fan of Santa as she was last year. She did pretty good until I put her on his lap and then her eyes got really big and she said, "No, No, No." I got one picture of her on his lap and then we opted for her to ride the horse in front of Santa. This seemed to work better but she was still keeping her eye on him. As we left Ella said, "Ho, Ho, Ho!" I guess that's better than No, No, No!

Bike Fun

Since we have had such beautiful crip clear weather Ella and I have been spending some time in the afternoon outside. Ella's favorite thing to do is ride her bike, or rather be pushed on her bike. Her feet reach the pedals and she almost has it down to do it by herself but she would rather be pushed...she goes much faster that way!
