Ellie's out of her Bumbo!

She can wiggle her way out of her bumbo...










She did it! Yay!

 Some other cute pics:




Baby Jesus

We were asked by our stake to take a shift playing Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus in a community Christmas display that our stake does called the creche.  We had a lot of fun.  Funny story: we were told by the sister who asked us to take the shift which costumes to wear... there were two Mary costumes and two Joseph costumes and she accidentally told Lance to wear the other Mary costume which was about two feet short for him.  No one told us until we only had 15 min left in our shift!



Update on life!

What can I say?  It has been a busy month and a half.  Our little Miss Ellie is growing up so much.  She can now crawl everywhere!  She also pulls herself up onto things and down and walks along the couch... we are constantly amazed by this little girl and her determination!  She just gets this look in her eyes like, "hey I can do that!"  and then she does it.  Some new pics:

Ellie's First Halloween!

This Halloween we took Ellie (Little Ducky) trick-or-treating with my cousins Danny (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named) and Calvin (Harry Potter).  Ellie has been very camera-shy lately... Once we bring out the camera she pretty much ignores us and avoids eye contact and will not smile. She's a smart kid- can't say I blame her for avoiding pictures but I would love it if she would share her beautiful smiles with our camera more often!  However, even without smiles, she is still a very adorable duck!


The trick-or-treaters! 









Spooky Halloween Dinner

We have a tradition in our family of making a special dinner on Halloween of edible gross things.  Let me introduce...
Hair

Hair and Eyeballs

Mummies

My personal favorite: Worms!

Fingers and Fingernails
  
Wormy Ice Cubes
Not pictured: Blood to drink and Frozen Frog Eggs for dessert!  We had a lot of fun making and eating these gross treats!

Some of Ellie's latest pics...





As a disclaimer, she was more in to spitting, drooling, and crawling than smiling for the camera in these pictures!
