****FYI this blog will look different very soon and will have a new domain name once Ian is born. The two will share one blog that will be a joint one and easier for me to manage all at once. I will be sure to email all of you with the new info as soon as he comes and I get things changed over.

Christmas 2011

Elena had quite a time at Christmas this year. She was very excited for presents, lights, decorations, Santa to come, all the parades we have locally and everything having to do with the day. She spent most days waiting for the "big day" by decorating and re decorating the tree. We spent a few weekends going to different parades in nearby towns and driving around looking at everyone's lights that were out. So enjoy the photos!

Having fun

Here are a few recent pictures of Elena just being herself and having a good time hamming it up.

Tricks or Treats

Here are pictures from Elena's first ever tricks or treats outing. It was several kids, one boy and 3 girls total and all friends that knew each other. The older children took her and led the way up to each house and she "double fisted two buckets". She expected each person to give her candy in both buckets before she would leave the door. She had a great time and got to enjoy a good amount of candy when she got home.

Pumpkin Carving

Elena and Dad carved the pumpkins this year and she really enjoyed helping clean them out.
