Time?

Where did all the time go? I don't know - don't ask me!

We have been oh so busy, doing what though, I know not. Here are a few pictures of our happenings though!

Our Ward had a Christmas Breakfast in the beginning of September. Santa was there! Ellie was happy to get up there and let him know how she felt about him.

Ethan did not cry. Which really suprised me. He is getting much better with Santa and is ver excited for him to bring him "helicopters and trains!".

After the Christmas Party we went to Walmart. Santa was there too! So...we saw him again.

On Saturday, December 12th, we had a monster of a snow storm. Ethan was excited that we had to go and shovel the walk. Since Jacob was at work it was up to the three of us to get it done. Ethan had a blast!

Ellie looked the kid from the Christmas Story. I had to prop her up against the wall for this picture, otherwise she would just fall backwards!

And yes, it was her birthday, so I did let her eat the snow! She had a blast. It was also snowing the day she was born and the day we brought her home as well.

Ethan was a big helper with shoveling the snow. He worked his little tush off and then took a wonderful nap

What a cute girl in her puffy pink coat!


And this picture captures Ethan to a T, I think. All his character!

On Sunday we had a little party for our girl. She has grown up so fast that I can hardly believe it. And no, I don't believe in having my children wear clothes! Actually, she had just gotten done with her dinner so....

She thoroughly enjoyed all her presents

Tinkerbell is her favorite

She wasn't so sure about the cake at first. I like how no one is paying attention except me!


She enjoyed getting messy but she didn't really eat any of it.



And then she chilled with Great Grandpa Youngberg. Both of my kids love their Greats because they know who to go to for the good stuff. Like cookies and ice cream.


What a cute girl ( I mean Ellie!)



And of course - she loves the bunny that she got from her Great Grandma Pow. It plays the same song that Ethan's puppy used to play before puppy became "well loved".
