We had to record this! Not only does Madelyn have some FIERCE moves, but Ella does a really good job of keeping up!!!

Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas! The girls loved all of their presents. Santa brought both girls Pillow Pets and books. Madelyn got more Zhu Zhu pet accessories, a cupcake maker, a Leapster 2, and a new CD player. Ella got Sesame Street Wii games, a Tag Jr., and a "My First Leaptop" computer.

Gobble Gobble

Ella had a fun week at her sitter's house. They had a "Thanksgiving Feast" today and made these little "apple turkeys".

Reflections contest

Madelyn entered the PTA's reflection contest again this year. The theme was "Together We Can...". She made a poster with pictures she cut out of a magazine showing people taking care of the Earth and she also wrote a story about some school friends that form a club and do different things to take care of the Earth. She won third place for both Visual Arts and Literature!
