Happy Thanksgiving

Hey Everybody! Ellen here!

After leaving Duluth, we headed to Alexandria for Thanksgiving dinner with Grandma Carolyn, Papa Tim, Aunite Megan, Uncle Tommy, and Cousin Mackenzie.  It was a ton of fun getting to play with Mackenzie and teach her all sorts of big girl things.

It was super fun getting to play outside in the snow.  We have had a LOT of rain which is no fun, but snow is great!!  Sissy and Daddy took turns pulling us around the yard, and pushing us down the hill.

Grandma Carolyn made a huge meal and it was delicious, but as usual, all good things must come to an end and we headed home.


Because we came home on Friday it gave us a couple days to hang out at home and have some fun.  We got our trees setup, and lots of decorations out.  We also listened to a LOT of Christmas music!

 Mama surprised Linden and me with matching jammies, and a Christmas sleepover in the living room.  We watched a movie, but neither Linden nor I could fall asleep so the sleepover ended and we all went to our own rooms for bed.


Two of our favorite Christmas toys came out of hiding, our Little People Nativity, and Jingle and Bell!  I love our nativity because it looks almost like Mama's but I get to play with it.  Jingle and Bell are great, they love to listen to their books and even bark and sing!

Daddy got out little mini trees for Linden and me to decorate and have in our room.  Our trees are so small and cute!

I also wanted to share a picture of one of our recent projects that we did.  A couple weeks ago Linden and Mama went to a craft show and saw a really fun snowman/scarecrow sign.  The signs were really big, but Mama decided that we could make them for ourselves and much smaller!  It was really fun getting to do a project with the big girls, can you guess which one is mine?  Mama said that mine will never fall apart, probably because I poured half a bottle of glue on it while she wasn't looking.

Merry Christmas! 
Ellen
