December 31st- Home again Home again.

Ella and I came home from our Christmas travels today. We got up really early so none of us made it to midnight but everyone was happy to be together again. 

Out with the Old/In with the New!

Love watching Ella's blog!

Just wanted to insert these two pics - bookends for the year!

Ella and 'Santa' -

The start of 2015!

December 30th- Kpen and Brad

Krispen and Brad drove 2 hours to visit us in Baltimore today. They are the BEST! It was Brad and Ella's first time playing together and boy did they have some fun. I think Brad is invited over to play anytime he wants. He is also a really good pillow.

December 29th- Party with Miss Cheryl

Everyday at Miss Cheryl's is a party! So many fun things to play with.

December 28th- Fun with the Montgomery's

Today we went to Uncle Bob and Aunt Jeanne's house for an afternoon of fun and a family dinner. It was the first time everyone there got to meet Ella and it was really really fun to watch Ella and Raul. There was also some amazing photo ops of Gigi playing in the pirate ship.

December 27th- More pics from party

Bonus December 26th - 10 months old

Our little world traveler. Okay, just US traveler but she is awesome at this. I am amazed how she likes the adventure and the changes and all the people. She loves the people. She has let everyone and just about anyone hold her this holiday and that has been a lot of people. She is just a happy happy girl (once we got over the time change thing.)  These are a collection from a few days.

December 26th- Another Plane

Tampa to Washington D.C. today. We are headed to Grandmom's 90th birthday party. It's only a 2 hour flight but when your plane is delayed 1.5 hours it makes for a really long afternoon. Luckily Tampa has a kids play area. Ella and Matt had a great time killing time.

The plane wasn't full and Ella got her own seat.

We had to prove that we were keeping her warm to Nana. Quite the weather switch Tampa to Baltimore.

December 25th- More Christmas Pics

December 25th- Ella's First Christmas

Santa really knew how good of a kid Ella was this year. Now if we can get the sleeping thing down..... We had a great time opening presents with Ella. She loved her fire engine. It's a good thing Santa worked out a deal for shipping with Nana.

December 24th- Part 2- Christmas Eve

After a busy day we took a great family picture, ate a delicious dinner, did family presents and played a bunch.

December 24th- Part 1- Playground, Gulf of Mexico

It was a busy Christmas Eve. We started the day off with a trip to the playground to play with Nathan and Anna. Ella fell asleep on the way. (It was a 7 min drive.) She slept through the first 30 mins of playing, but the rest of us had a great time.

Ella needed to get those toes into a body of water while we were in Tampa. So off to the beach we went. It was SUPER windy so we didn't go to the big beach, we just found a nice spot to dip her toes and take a little walk.
