Sunday Dress and Coat

This cute little outfit is also what Elle wore to her choir concert back in December.
She hasn't worn it since, so I thought it was high time she did!

Here's Elle in her Mink Stole






Actually, she thought she looked like a ghost in this coat, (you can't see her feet--she's floating! Wooo-ooo) and wanted me to take pictures accordingly.
We spent a good half hour trying to capture her mid-jump so she'd look like she was floating. That's how she got the mink stole in the picture above. :)

This is her "ghost face" Very creepy.
It's too bad I don't know anything about my camera, because Elle wanted me to take a spooky dark picture of her.
They just all turned out fuzzy instead. :(
Someday I'll have to read the manual.

We finally got our ghost shot though!

Winter Highlights

It’s been a long time!

Here are some highlights of winter:

I had my EE birthday! (It was supposed to be 33, but someone got confused with the sprinkles.  We turned the cake upside down and it worked out)

Elle’s dream come true—both sets of Grandparents in one month!

This is the highlight of Christmas—Elle (with help from G-ma and G-pa) sewed a nativity set for my sister!  All of Elle’s gifts were so thoughtful!  Another of my favorite was  for my dad.  He retired last year, so Elle  made a paper chain with ideas of things he can fill his day with! “read a book, write in your journal”etc.)

 

Matching PJ’s with my sister

 

SNOW!

a few days later

We somehow convinced Elle to wear this adorable outfit!

Unfortunately, this is the best shot.

 

We convinced her to wear this too!

She loves it when we make her wear cute things!

And a new dress!  Now that we have 9:00 church, we don’t really have time for the “hair” part of “Sunday dress and hair”

I’m sure I missed more highlights, but that’s all I can think of for now!

 

And since this is such a long post anyway, I’ll add on one more thing--

Yesterday, we took pictures of all the primary kids.  Since we’re a new presidency, we want to memorize all the kids.  I’m doing pretty well considering we have almost 100 kids in primary and 25 in nursery!  I feel so bad when I’m doing sharing time and I want to call on someone, but I don’t remember their name!

(BTW- I’m second counselor now—I miss Activity Days!*sniff*)

Here are some choice pictures:

And that’s all for now!
