New Years Day

We spent New Years Day at home with the whole family pitching in to get some things done around the house. Mike and Ella took care of some much needed yard work and then we took some time off to play and take photos. Only a few more tasks to complete before we host a party this weekend. I know crazy since baby 2 could arrive any day, but I keep telling myself that it is good to stay active, and that this could be the thing to tempt baby out!

Ella surprising a napping daddy with kisses!

What a great way to wake up, with a kiss and a smile!

Ella's first experience with mittens.
She definitely prefers gloves, but made them work.

Going down the slide on the playyard in the backyard.

Daddy helping go down the "right" way.

So independent!
Big Girl!!!

What a great smile...
