Ella and Grammy snapping green beans.
Grammy would snap and Ella would put them in the bowl.
Showing Grammy her apron and hat.
Making chocolate cupcakes.
Cracking the eggs is one of Ella's favorite parts.
Beautiful!
Picking apples.

Ginny was having a blast climbing all the trees.
Picking out the perfect pumpkin.
This is the one she picked out for our neighbor, BJ.
And this is Ella's little baby pumpkin.

Drawing a picture of Ella, mommy and daddy.
Playing with her new playdough that GiGi bought.
CHEESE!
She was VERY excited about the lobster cutter on her lobster place mat.
The first antelope meal...antelope tenderloin.
Joe's first bite. Of course he loved it.
Even Ella loved it and kept asking for "more antelope please."
Genius child!
Ella and Jonah getting ready for a walk.
Cool Jonah.
Cute Jonah and his mommy, the wonderful Patrice.
The 4 of us
Lindy had stuff so Ella could make cookies.
In Kit's apron and Lindy's hat.
Ella at her cookie making post. The table bench was the perfect size for her to use as a table.
All of the sprinkles.
And the decorative frosting.
I'm not surprised that she wanted to use the "E" and elephant cookie cutters.
Ella shows Zoe her Tinkerbell dress-up outfit.
Lindy helping with the frosting.
And this was her breakfast every morning.
Writing Aunt Fran's Birthday card.
At the church Fall Festival...she called it the Fall Vegetable.
Check out that balloon pumpkin
We've been working on her smile for pictures. This is the best we've gotten so far.
Waiting in line to go fishing
Ooooh, I hope she gets something good.
Yay! A princess tiara. (She was much more excited than she looks in this picture)
Ella, Ginny and Lizzie waiting in line for the train ride.
Joe gives Christy high five while Ella and Ginny just wait for the ride to get started.
Hey Christy!
Hey Casey!
Cute girls! Since we didn't get an Easter picture we got a Halloween picture.
She's practicing for when she's on the Price is Right.
You Won!!!
Wow, her aim is incredible. (Notice where the black line is and where Ella is standing)
Once again, Ella chose to stand in front of the black line. Luckily they were letting all the little kids do it.
They had to have something for the men to look at, so there were several classic cars on display. All owned by men in the church.
2 of the several inflatable toys.
This was one of Ella's favorite games.
Testing out her clown nose.
Her Halloween bow from Grammy. She wore it all week, whether it matched her outfit or not.
Carving the pumpkin
She kept saying, "Oooo, it's yucky!"
Since these were too small to carve Ella painted them.
Pumpkin guts
This was a team effort. I drew the face on and Joe cut it out. Ella supervised and gave commentary on the insides of the pumpkin.
All ready to go trick or treating.
My precious clown!
GiGi made the costume for her and she got a lot of compliments all night.
Waiting to go trick or treating.
Her candy bucket from the big yellow M.
Waiting is torture when you're 3 years old.
The final jack-o-lantern.
Showing me her bucket...and her crazy smile.
The nose wouldn't stay on so we went without it.
Afterward enjoying her loot.
