Elizabeth Rose

A good friend of mine takes amazing pictures.

too busy

I have so many things I want to blog about but not enough time in which to write them all down! I do manage to update my website with my Children's blogs a bit more frequently! If you are interested in keeping up with their lives you can check out my website @ http://web.me.com/shinelikestars77

One day I'll be more consistent in this blog . . . for now, it's time for bed.

'Tis the Season

It's been a lot of fun this year to watch Elizabeth light up as she sees the Christmas decorations all around her. We haven't decorated the house, besides putting a wooden nativity that she can play w/ out. But Grandma Burton has gone all out and Ellie loves the decorations at her house. We've chosen not to play Santa so as she sees the Santas at the mall and in front of houses she doesn't give more than a second glance. I know that we'll have to explain it to her in the future, but for now saying nothing works fine.

She's really into baby Jesus - she talks about him a lot and wants to see the manger scenes that people have set up out in their front yards. She enjoys playing pretend with her nativity set that we gave her today. She is also enamored with snowmen. Grandma Burton put out 3 snowmen in front of her house and Ellie insisted on bringing the littlest snowman inside last time we were there. She carried that little snowman (almost as tall as her) all over Grandma's house!

mix-matched socks giveaway

Simple Finds is giving away socks from LittleMissMatched. I would LOVE to win some for Ellie. She is still obsessed with putting a sock on her hand and wearing it around the house or even out to the park. I often can't find matching socks when I need them and having mix-matched socks ON PURPOSE would make my life a lot easier! So I'm entering their contest AND making sure I get as many entries as I can!! The contest ends in two days (on the 9th) so go on over to Simple Finds and enter it for yourself!
