On the day she turned 9 months, we started day care. She's been going for a week now and is getting used to the idea. Her first day was a little rough though.






But true to her style, she couldn't wait to take off the boots. Little girl prefers to show off her big feet!
Look at the spread on this dinner table!
Post dinner, Ella played with Peanut and absolutely loved him.
On Christmas day, Ella went on her first trip on a plane. Here she is waiting to be boarded with Daddy.
Then, a little apron for when Katie helps with the cooking.
Both Ella and Daddy hit the bottle to get some Zzzzzz
We all got up bright and early the next day for some yummy homemade granola.
Finally Mommy got it that Ella was teething. Thank god Auntie Roz was prepared with teething biscuits. Just messier than the hammer...
We only went out to eat a couple of times. The first time was to a Mexican restaurant where Mommy ordered a delicious mango and crab salad.
For New Year's Eve, we went to the famous LoLo's Chicken and Waffles. Who would have thought to put fried chicken with waffles?! And cool pickling jars as water glasses!
For our last nite, New Year's Day, we had an all out Chinese Hot Pot dinner. Of course, lots of left overs for the next day for both breakfast and lunch. Auntie Roz couldn't be happier with all the food all week long.
It's finally time to go home after a week of vacationing. Ella was definitely beat on the way home.
