Life With Ella

This past weekend was fun and busy.  On Sunday we went to see Ella’s favorite band VDQ and then went to Brickelle’s ballet birthday party.  Ella had a terrific day!  We are all so excited about our upcoming trip next week!  We can’t wait to be with the family and can’t wait for some warm sunshine.  Here are a few pictures from the weekend and a video of Ella dancing with her teacher today at ballet.

 Ella and Brickelle.  Two beautiful ballerinas.

 Putting on a little show at the end of the party.

On Friday morning, Ella’s class presented at the assembly.  They did a really cute song about seeds growing.  All the kids were super cute.  The video is at the end of the post.  Ella has been asking to go ice skating lately.  We have never taken Ella ice skating but we decided that today was a great day to do it.  Before we left the house, you could see Ella getting a little bit nervous.  She kept saying that she didn’t want to get a bloody knee.  Ella did a great job.  She held onto the wall for most of the time and took a little spill but she got up and kept skating.  Ella said she wants to do it again tomorrow.  We’ll see!

 Some sweet shots from the assembly today.  All the artwork in the background was done by the Redwood class.

 Ella made this in school.  She said instead of “Peace on Earth” it’s “Peace on Dreidel’!

 Friday night movie night.  All the kids watching Mary Poppins.

We had a lot of fun ice skating.
