Present

Before I tell you about all the things I left out in 2009, here is what the first 10 days of 2010 have blessed us with:

1) Ella was diagnosed with pneumonia. The poor girl was sick, sick, sick

2) We enjoyed some playtime in the snow!

3) Matt started to grow a beard, but than gave up

4) The kids went to the movie theater for the first time with Uncle Todd and Uncle Jeff to see "The Princess and the Frog". (Ella had to wear a tutu, of course! She was SO excited!)

5) Ella decided to showcase her artistic talents by using permanent markers to color on the newly painted family room walls. (she obviously didn't learn her lesson because the next day she colored with the same marker to color on the kitchen counter! Time to get rid of all Sharpies!!)

And we would like to wish a Happy Birthday today to our Gigi!!! I love you mom! You are so beautiful!
