Playdate and gingerbread house

Today Ella had a play date with Brickelle – one of her classmates.  We went to a park and we all had a great time.  It was a beautiful day and the girls played hard for about 2 hours.  We came home and Ella changed into a new black leotard/tutu combo and we played around the house.  Right before dinner, Ella and mommy built their very first gingerbread house.  It is beautiful.  After dinner, we took a walk around the ballpark.  There was a “parade” of boats that were decorated by lights for the holidays.  It was beautiful.  Ella loved it.

Just a note – Ella went to the doctor on Friday.  She was really not into it at all.  She was crying and said that she didn’t want to take her clothes off (which was strange to us because she loves being naked everywhere).  There was a very long wait – 2 hours and she was fantastic considering.  At the end of the appointment Ella got a flu shot and she didn’t even cry.  Ella is 29 pounds and 3 feet tall.  She has graduated from the 10th percentile in both to the 25th percentile in both.

    What fun you all looked like you were having in the park. And I love the looks (not taste) of the gingerbread house. The black leotard and tutu are stunning! Thanks for the video chat. Love you. Mom
