Get ready for a dump of pictures!
The Saturday before Halloween, the bookstore was putting on a fall party. Basically they were reading stories, decorating pumpkins and did a parade for the kids in costume. Needless to say, we took Ella and she had a lot of fun!

this one's out of order, but it's here gutting a pumpkin.
She didn't like it, said it was "yucky."

This was one of those halloween crafts.

She did it all by herself!
Sunday the 28th was Great-grandma Stella's birthday, so the whole family met at the zoo in ABQ.
Definitely too long of a drive to do too often, but we sure had a fun filled day!

Happy birthday GG!

She learned how to buckle herself in her car seat this week.
It's a really great game

Here we are about to leave for the mall, they do a trick or treat thing inside.

They had limes and very little candy... Ella wasn't sure what to think of that

P.S. trick or treating makes for excellent practice of please and thank you!
This is the pumpkin she was gutting a million pictures ago
In other news, Ella now bites her nails
She also really likes the baby she sees in the mirror
