Family Pictures

Our friend Anita took some family pictures for us last weekend. They turned out really well. We highly recommend her, this is her website: http://www.purpledoorphotography.ca

We went out to get our Christmas tree this weekend. The girls have been checking out all of the lights on it, but have yet to knock it over... we'll see how long this lasts!

Mmmm, I love strawberry smoothies!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

On Thursday we went to Potters with Miriam. She bought the girls some jingly reindeer antlers. We had a great time looking at all of the Christmas displays.

Thursday was a very snowy day, so we took Ella outside to play. Who would have thought we'd have this much snow in November?

The life of Ella and Juju

Yesterday we put Juju in Ella's highchair and she fit surprisingly well. Next time we'll have to strap those cheeks in too!

Lately Ella has figured out how to get up on the kitchen table chairs. She is pretty proud of herself for being able to do this. The other day Ali came into the kitchen to notice Ella sitting at the table with her eyes closed saying "Amen."

This toddler means business!

Grandpa Rob came over for dinner and babysat Ella last Wednesday night.

This little piggy...

Most of what we do to Ella, she likes to do to Juliette. So the other day we were playing 'this little piggy' on Ella's toes and yesterday Ella was playing 'piggy, piggy, piggy' on Juliette's toes... only to be distracted by her belly button.

Ella's Twirls

Ella enjoys twirling around and around. She gets so dizzy that she falls over and finds this quite amusing.

Juju's Giggles

Here is a sweet little video clip of Juju giggling.

Ella's Dance Moves

High Heels

The other day Ella found her mom's high heels and decided to try them on. She did quite a good job of walking in them.

Juju and the duck

Juju has started batting at the duck hanging from her swing. It brings a smile to her face when she hits the duck and makes it jingle.

A weekend in Kelowna

Spencer had a long weekend, so we decided to go to Kelowna for a few days. The girls did very well and the car ride to Kelowna and they had lots of fun with their grandpa. Ella calls him "Papa" and enjoyed playing the piano with him.

Juliette in her Sunday best.

Ella took a bubble bath in a big tub. She wasn't too sure what to think when we turned the jets on.

The girls had a nice visit with our friend Eileen.

Juliette has been doing lots of tummy time lately. Ella likes to help her out and show her how it's done.

Ella and Juliette had a nice time with their friend Henry. He is Ali's friend's son and he is just over 8 months old.

It was cold in Kelowna, so the girls got all bundled up before we went outside.

All dressed up!

Since Ella and Juliette do not believe in sleeping in an extra hour at daylight savings time, we had an extra hour to get ready for church on Sunday morning. Ella and Juju got dressed up in skirts and dresses.

Note: Ella's crocs on the wrong feet

"Why do they have to dress us up and take pictures of us??"

2 months old!

Baby Juju turned 2 months old this week. She went to the doctor for a check-up and to get her vaccinations. Juju now weighs 12.5 lbs (90th percentile) and she is 24" long (97th percentile). I guess that explains why her sleepers are suddenly too small for her. She is now wearing 3-6 month clothing. Way to go Juju!
