More updates

Well here is the next installment of updates. Ella went to see Santa arrive at the mall a few weeks ago. Now every year we have gone to see Santa and every year it does not go so well. Here is this years attempt.

We also spent a day at the Strong National Museum of Play. They had a very large Bob the Builder exhibit there. We went with Grandma Fran, Auntie Edna, and Uncle Fred.

When Ella got a chance to meet Bob she did not want to go neat him. They had a sing and dance along party with him. Everyone got to dress up and sing and dance. Well Ella got all dressed up and they right up front with to sing, and that is all she did stand. She would not sing or dance.

Of course there was a train ride with Uncle Freddy.

Now on the Thanksgiving. Ella had a feast at school and Luke and I were able to join her. It was fun. Of course she did not eat hardly any of the food.

Then Ella got a belated birthday gift. I will not reveal the sender. HA HA

The pictures explains it all.

Also Daddy had to try the wig on.

We also have a house guest for the Holidays. His name is Dukie. He is one of Santa's elves. Dukie is here to watch Ella and then report back to Santa. We can not touch Dukie or his magic will go away. Every night after Ella goes to bed, Dukie flies to the North Pole and reports to Santa how she was for the day and then he comes back each night. Every night he hides in a new spot and Ella has to find him in the morning. Dukie can not talk to us, but we can talk to him and he will tell Santa our wishes. So welcome to our home Dukie.
