Dear Santa...please explain!
I mean, really?!
See...he even made the same faces a few months ago at his preschool Thanksgiving blessing basket party.
Niiiiiice.
Oh, and then there was the Christmas program at his school! Acting like he is asleep is another one in his bag of tricks!
Not sure about this one...
Oh no Ty... don't do it. Not on stage. Nooooooo!!!!!
He makes eyes with me and decides to do "it"!!!
Oh yes he did! My face was the color of his hat for sure!
Not finished yet, he goes for the evil-looking eye gouge!
..and then sticks out his tongue.

They are all my favorites...
A few weeks ago my dear friend Quincie (and Lucy's labor/delivery nurse) took these pictures. I think they are my all time favorites, of my all time favorites!
There are some that are even better but I can't show you because they are Christmas card material! :)

Tennis, Bananas, Birthdays and Awards
Ella reluctantly wore her official party hat that she has worn each year on her big day since she turned one! I am not sure how many more years I will win this battle :( !
On Thursday morning Ella woke to find a new Birthday banner above her bed! I found this at the annual Holiday mart a month or so ago, and I couldn't wait to hang it! I suppose I will use it for each kid's Birthday and hang it their bedrooms or in the kitchen or on the mantle, oh the possibilities are limitless! I took doughnuts up to her class for her birthday celebration. I forgot to snap a picture of them, but the were really cute and spelled out "Happy Birthday Ella".
On Friday, I took Ella out of class early and told her that her big "surprise" was a girls day with lunch and a pedicure! Well, that was just the beginning! Later in the afternoon, my sister and my niece snuck over and put their bags in my already packed car and waited for me to surprise Ella! I brought Ella to the car blindfolded, and boy was she surprised to find Madelyn and Aunt Kathy in the car. She and Maddie then had a series of "clues" to find in the car in order to figure out where we were going! Well, they figured it out before we even were on the highway, and screamed with excitement! We were off to Dallas for an American Girl doll weekend! (sorry Todd... she didn't get a new car ;0)
Kathy and I convinced the girls that sharing this giant couch was a great idea! The mom's got the beds :)
We hit the ground running early Saturday morning! We were all so excited! Maddie brought her doll Mia to the boutique to get her ears pierced, and Ella got to pick out her very own doll!
Ella spent the first 30 minutes walking in circles taking in all the wonderfulness! I am soooo glad we got there right when they opened because the girls were able to really take it all in before the store got absolutely packed!
After the big purchase, Ella stood in line to have her Emily's ear pierced.
Another set of candles to blow out...

when your daddy is a dentist....
The other day Micah asked Ella if he could check out her baby tooth because her permanent tooth was already growing in behind the baby. She turns 7 this week and hadn't lost a tooth yet! I swear they are cemented in! She agreed to let him feel the baby tooth. In the blink of an eye, Micah pulled out her tooth (long root and all) and she didn't even know he had done it. It was only after he had her run to the kitchen and get tissue for the bleeding that she began to cry. She still thought he was trying to pull out the tooth, but it was really laying on the counter! :)

OU/Texas, sweet faces, and miniature horses...
He can also look oh-so-serious!
This afternoon we took the bigger kids to a miniature horse farm here in town. My sister's in-laws had won a "day at the horse farm" at a charity auction earlier in the year. They were so kind to extend an invitation for us to join in the fun! Ella and Ty had a blast with the tiny horses! What a fun day!
