Ellie's baptism...
The big day is almost here! My good friend Gwen offered to take a few pictures of Ellie in her dress. They turned out gorgeous. I am so excited for Ellie and this incredible path she's about to take.

Happy Birthday Ellie!!! 8 years old!
She's had an awesome year! Soccer, snowboarding, straight A's, vacations, playdates, dance recitals... Ellie is a sweetheart who is always thinking of others and absolutely loves to be with friends and family.
Eight is such a special birthday. I can't believe she's already there. She is going to be baptized in a few weeks and I am so proud and happy for her. Happy Birthday!

Happy Thanksgiving Week!
Check this out... this week I attended my third 1st grade "feast". One of our favorite teachers puts together this elaborate feast every year for her students, complete with costumes.
I, for some unknown reason, volunteered to cook a turkey for the event. Here's the problem... I've never done this before! (and Corey was out of town!!!) This particular feat was more than a little intimidating for me... I got the turkey in the oven by 6:15, (after a phone call to my mom asking for advice on how to find the giblets!!) and everything seemed to be going smoothly... I took it out a little before 9, let it sit while I finished getting the kids to bed, and then got all set to carve the thing. I broke into it and had serious doubts about it being completely done. (I even made my dad come over!) This is something that completely freaks me out, so back in the oven it went.... when I was STILL carving the turkey at 11:30 p.m. (yes, it was definitely done by then!!!), I was then having serious doubts about my sanity.
HOWEVER, after all that... when I attended the feast the next day, it was all worth it. The cute pilgrims and indians completely won me over. So. adorable.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

A natural!
We thought we'd see if Ellie could take her training wheels off, now that she's almost 6 and all.... It took her about 10 minutes to figure it out... and she's now riding like crazy. She went with her Dad and brothers to ride on a trail and LOVED it. "I didn't fall even ONE time, mom!" she told me proudly. Another biker in the family. We are so happy!
