My nephew Adam was home from South Carolina for Thanksgiving so we all got together at my sisters on Friday. Here are a few pics...

Giving Thanks

Tom and I feel like we have a lot to be thankful for. We have each other, our beautiful daughter, our home, health, jobs, friends and family.
This year we did not have to travel far for Thanksgiving but rather right around the corner to Loveland. Tom's cousins Tom and Jackie and their children Gus and Rita were kind enough to welcome Tom, Ella, Tom's mom and I into their home for Thanksgiving. Jackie is an amazing cook and made enough food to feed an army. Thank you Klofta's for the hospitality, comedy, food, drinks, and putting up with an overstimulated baby by the end of the night!



We each had our own name cards and Ella's seat was ready with books. Too bad Ella did not stop moving the entire night, not even long enough for the tasty Thanksgiving feast..



Ella had a great time checking out the house, tending bar, playing with Gus and Rita, and getting lots of attention...



Tom took the turkey carving very seriously; however, Gus and Rita claimed he butchered it..


Took several tries with the self timer...

Play Time!

Last Saturday Ella and I met Jocelyn and Everett at the Museum Center for a a little play time and for mommy to catch up with a friend. Ella got plenty of playing in but mommy got very little catching up! Jocelyn and I spent the whole time running after the babies and most of the time it was in opposite directions!

You pick your battles...

And this was not one of them. Instead we decided to sit back, laugh, and enjoy the small moments in life..

Two years ago today...

I found out I was pregnant with Ella

How can you not love this face...

And these little hands...

Poor Baby

Ella has come down with the infamous fever virus yet again. Symptoms include fever, lethargy, and poor appetite. Daddy spent first half of day with Ella and I took the second. So sad to see a sick baby but I have to admit I enjoyed spending quite awhile in bed cuddling with Ella during this cold, rainy day. She seems to be feeling a little better this evening.

Hummus monster

This child loves hummus. LOVES hummus. Sometimes she eats it by dipping a pretzel or cracker, other times she says why bother and just eats it by the handfuls!

Weekend at Grammie's

This weekend Ella and I took a trip to grammie and pawpaw's. Ella played with new toys, jewelry, and spent an afternoon with aunt Tonia and cousin Emma. Of course mommy took way too many photos (over 170!)
