Princess Ella

Ella loves to play pretend. Lots of times she will pretend to be a cat, but lately she has also enjoyed being a princess.
What I have learned:
Princesses love a good tutu (regular or tutu dresses).
Princesses often bring along a cute cat.
Princesses love to dance
Princesses love pink and purple clothes
Princesses love a good cape.
A princess is not above being a fireman. (They have great headwear)
Nothing makes a girl a princess faster than a "crown" on their head.

Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving this year. Some people in the ward hosted a "people in the area" Thanksgiving dinner. We made mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. There is no question what Ella's favorite part was. (And who can blame her?)

Ella's Big Imagination

Ella loves to pretend.

She pretends to be a cat all the time. (The other day she decided to eat her banana like a kitty cat.)

She currently likes to dress up like a princess fire woman!

She sees things in Daddy's kaleidoscope.

She even comes up with clever ideas for her duplo blocks. (The first "dog" and a second "pet")

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Grandma and Grandpa Call came for in impromptu after harvest visit this year. They came at a perfect time. The weather was great!

We did lots of bicycling. Ella loved sitting on the little seat Grandpa brought and wearing her "hat" (helmet). They went through the tunnel by the pond and had a great time

Ella helped play a few holes of disc golf. While we were there, she also gave Grandma some loves!

On Saturday, we went to the park at the elementary school. Ella loved to go down the slide and have Grandpa airplane her back up to the top.
