Big Girl Bed!

Going to backtrack a little bit (again & this time it's out of order.) Hopefully someday soon I will get a better hang of this "blogging" thing. Love it, just not sure I'm the best - yet.

Anyway, I can't leave out this monumental transition of Ella's. We moved the crib out & the big girl bed in over Thanksgiving week. She helped Daddy every step of the way. We set up her new monkey room & she loves it. We could not have asked for an easier transition. To this day, Ella has NEVER goten up in the middle of the night. She rolled off onto the floor one time & gave her self a bloody nose. She was such as tough girl - she didn't even need comforting. She just wanted me to put her back "night, night." One more sign that our baby girl is really beginning to grow up!

Holiday Fun With Friends

There is always something to do with the kiddos here in New Braunfels. Christmastime is no exception. A few places Ella got to go with her friends this December are Waissalfest, Schlitterbahn Hill Country Christmas, & a Santa party at the Allen's house. Oh what a sweet life this little 2 year old lives...

Family Fun at Christmas

Ella was so much fun at Christmas this year. We went to Dallas to visit all of our family. We spent Christmas Eve with the Jenkins side - Nana, Papa, Aunt Jenny, Uncle D, and Aunt Jules. Christmas Day was with the Chaffee side - Meme, Pop, Aunt Cici, Arturo, and Great Aunt Jackie. As the only grandchild (for a little bit longer) Ella received more than enough love and attention from everyone. She is truly a wonderous blessing to us! Jeff had to get home and back to work shortly after Christmas Day, but Ella and I stayed in Dallas a little longer. We enjoyed more family time and I had the pleasure of helping Jenny begin registering for Ella's 1st cousin, due in May. We found out Jenny and Derek are having a baby girl - how great for Ella! Meme and Pop drove us home to the NB and stayed to celebrate the New Year with us.

Holiday Season

Well, since it's been forever since I updated this blog, once again, I'm going to have to back track. Let's take it back to Christmas. Yes, I know it's almost March and I promise to get better at keeping up with this to show how little miss Ella is growing up! Here are some pictures from Christmastime around home & in Dallas.
