New Years Day

Liz and Andrea got to meet Ella!

New Years Eve continued

I do it myself and if you try to help I will get really mad and kick off my boots and throw off my mittens and then cry because my socks are wet and my hands are cold, but really I can do it myself.

All the girls

New Years Eve

We had pancakes on our new griddle. Went to Happy New Year at Como to see the balloon drop at noon. Early evening we headed to Fort Snelling for the luminary walk. We brought the sled for Matti to ride on or the backpack for her to ride in, but she would not have any of it. We were told "I do it self!" So, she pulled the sled a good portion of the walk. Ella was along for the ride snoozing in her sling.

This past week

Tara and Nora came to visit! What a little cutie.

Matti is drawing at her new easel.

Ella fell asleep while daddy was holding her.
