A Day with Friends and Mickey

Yesterday we loaded the cousins, Ella, Landrey, Abbey and Ava up in this sweet minivan Courtney rented and headed off to see Mickey and all his friends.

We made a quick stop at Steak and Shake

And then with tantrums in check (because of milkshakes in tow) we headed to The Centre.

The girls picked out some Handy Manny hard hats and Little Einsteins wands

and settled in for a very captivating show.

Don't you just love Mickey. I think us Moms were just as into it as the kids.

Then with happy hearts we headed back to the minivan

for much needed naps.

Oh, and then of course there were piggy back rides from Grandpa Jay waiting for Ella at home.

Waffles a la Ella

Snow Castles

I came home after work yesterday to find my Mom and Ella building snow castles in the driveway. Looked like a lot of fun, but Ella told me I wasn't allowed because "I'm playing with Mamaw, Mommy." So I went inside to fix supper.

When I came back out to bring her inside, I found this lovely lady on my side walk. She needs a name don't you think. She looks like a Fern. We'll call you Fern.

Lovely hair by the way.

Thanks Mom for making great moments with my Daughter.

I Heart You :)

Valentine's day is just such a cool day. Ella sure enjoyed it to the max. We ate candy, played with the new stuff in our Valentine mailbox, and made paper hearts to send to all our friends.

Here is some of the loot.

And you know we had to play with all of it at once.

She liked her new boots so well, that I had to sneak them off of her after she went to bed.

And Mamaw Cindy got us these oh so neato window crayons and they are really easy to clean off so Mommy likes them too.

Hope you all felt the love Sunday and just in case you didn't I'll pass a little on today.

XOXOXO
