Ella's Christmas Gifts 2015

Ella got some gifts! She got more than this. I forgot some things. Or they weren't easily accessible on amazon so I didn't include them.  I took actual pictures of all her presents but if I wait to make a collage of the ones I didn't include, this post will never get made.
(The Etch a Sketch  and the Wiki Sticks were birthday gifts. I put them in here by mistake.)

Ella loves everything. She plays with some more than others but she jumps around to what she uses.
The scooter, legos, and duplos were not bought new.

The train is a big hit. It was actually a gift last year then we thought she was too little to deal with tracks. So it was going to be a half birthday gift but then we forgot. So now it's her gift this year.

Merry Christmas Ella!  She made out like a bandit.
She helped us open our gifts too. That was fun. My favorite was when she opened Dave's Kindle and we asked her what it was. She said books. We asked how many books and she said "a lot."

9.27 (Lily's Party)

 The Steelers were playing so Ella and I wore some Steelers shirts.

Ella and I went to Lily's Birthday Party. Dave didn't go because the Steelers were on and weren't on the TV so he couldn't record it.

Ella walked the entire way to Lily's and carried the present. She was so happy to go. (The walk home didn't go so well.)

 We were a little slow since the present got heavy but we still made it.

 Ella had tons of fun at the party.

I never had so many people talk to me about football. I guess it's the shirt!

I took a ton of pictures of Ella but I also took pictures of all the other kids. I used my good camera and knew Gio wouldn't have time as a host to take many so I was being nice taking them for her.

Instead of leaving, Ella went inside and sat on the little couch to watch football with all the guys. I was shocked she did this since most of the time she's afraid of men.

The rest of the day didn't have many pictures so nothing interesting must have happened.

9.26

Beth and I ran in the morning. It was tough on my plantar fasciitis. We finally got our 9 mile run in that kept eluding us.

Ella loves Poly so much but too bad Poly isn't such a big fan.

Ella tries to hug her too much.

 Eating with her purse on.

 Ella likes the filling on oreos. I was going to throw them away but just let Ella eat all the icing.

Ella wanted her nails clipped.
