Nelson / Taylor Thanksgiving 2008

We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving this year! My parents and Chris's parents, sister and her two boys came to our home. This was the first year (and many more to come) to have it at our home. This is also the first Holiday Season without any of my grandparents :( it's going to be very sad, but very thankful for all of our blessings.

Ella had a fun time with her cousins and grandparents, she cried when everyone went home. She now smiles for the camera. She makes me laugh!!!!

Her Thanksgiving outfit. She is such a cutie!!!!!

Friday we finally put up the Christmas decor. We had to put all of the ornaments for the tree about waist high and higher. Ella thought they all were toys. We got her the 2nd ornament from Hallmark. We also got a new tree skirt and stockings from Pottery Barn. I love them!!! Ella loves the tree, we put a small one in her room, she thinks that is just fabulous. She will look at the trees and in her sweet little voice say "WOW". Love it!
Friday afternoon Ella and I had lunch with some girl friends, then went shopping, Ella did awesome!!! We didn't get home until 8:30. She was such a trooper.

Now we are looking forward to Christmas! This year will be so fun to watch Ella. :)
