Wow! What a week and a half. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Ella's Birthday, New Years Eve, New Years Day and my friend Sheryl came to visit. To say the least we have been busy. I feel like I have cooked more food in the last 2 weeks then I have in my whole life.
I am so grateful for all of the visitors this holiday season has brought our way. It was so special for my friend Sheryl to come visit. She is 7 months pregnant with Baby Jayce so her life won't be the same or I should say her schedule won't be the same for a while. We had a great time going to see a little bit of Charleston and just hanging out. We went to Isle of Palms last Monday and there was a boom really loud boom on the beach that they think might have been Seneca Guns which is a small earthquake. That was crazy. Even crazier though we took our lunch to the beach and the birds were trying to steal it out of our hands. I'll try to upload a picture but Sheryl is holding the best one hostage. There was a bird just hovering above her head while she was eating it was awesome.
So today I started taking down the Christmas tree and decided that the holidays are over for us. Ella is already asking when is Christmas coming again? Kevin told her a really really long time.
I'll upload pictures later of our outings. :)
LIV GOT SOME SAND ON HER HANDS...BRUSH THEM OFF GIRL!
Ella loved chasing the birds but she couldn't catch them. 
Finally, she stopped for one quick picture...tiger girl. 
Liv loves to get in my chair. She is so proud of herself. 
Ella's new castle and the home of her oversized stuffed animals she got for Christmas!
Here are a few pictures from the last few days. The girls have had so much fun playing in the back yard. Today Kevin worked on our leaf situation in the back yard. This fall seemed to go by so fast we didn't get them all up yet. Since we got Ella a little jeep for Christmas he is trying to get them out of the way for her. I was too cold to stay out there so Kevin built me a fire so I could keep him and Ella company. Liv was inside taking a nap inside. 
Ella loves to play like she lives in the garage. She says mom I gotta go to my house and she just stands inside the door and looks out at us and then pops out and says, I'm back. That is a picture of her coming back to visit me and liv at our house. That is her daily outfit right now. Ariel nightgown (she doesn't sleep in it, she sleeps in her silky one from the king girls) and dress up shoes.
