Elli got to experience her first real snowfall on Thanksgiving Day. We think she would have stayed out all day given the chance. She's recently become obsessed with snowmen (she refers to them as "noman").
A quick hug for good luck before heading out to Trick or Treat! Ellis as a lady bug on the left and Charlotte (our little neighbor girl) is the giraffe on the right.
Daddy and Ellis
Here we go! We are armed and dangerous for the big night--blanket, sippy cups, and fruit bites.
Now this is the way to travel while Trick or Treating!
Charlotte and Ellis find a cute little dog along the way to pet.
Ellis and Mommy
Helping Grandpa make sure all the seeds were removed from the pumpkin. And yes, this requires the removal of pants, shoes and socks. They just get in the way...
Helping Daddy clean out his pumpkin. Ellis found this to be so much fun!
