Elia has been doing very well. She loves all of her new toys and games from her birthday and Christmas. She has been staying very busy with them. She loves to play her games Candy Land and Cariboo. Elia has really been impressing us a lot lately. She has all of her colors down, knows her alphabet, can count to 10 and can recognize almost all of her letters. It is just so fun to watch her grow every day. We bought a new potty yesterday because we left her Dora seat at Grandma and Grandpa Bronson's this past weekend. I let her pick it out (of course it is a pink one :0) and she was very excited. She loves that it has a place for her own toilet paper. As soon as we got home we had to open it and she sat on it and went pee-pee. She really seemed to like it. She went 3 more times! Today she has gone on it twice with only one wet diaper. So it seems like she is back showing an interest in potty training. Hopefully she will continue to like her potty.

Clara's Birthday Party

Just before Christmas Elia went to her friend Clara's princess birthday party. They were visited by Cinderella and were able to dress like princesses. The girls also were able to do their own make-up, make bracelets and play a game. Elia had so much fun!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. Elia was excited about her presents and it was a blast to see her face when she saw that Santa had come to our house. Grandma and Grandpa Bronson and Uncle Andrew came out Christmas Eve and spent the night. It was an extra treat for Elia to have them there on Christmas. Then on the Saturday after Christmas we went to Gee-Gee and Papa's for the Bronson Christmas party. Elia had so much fun playing with all her cousins and getting more presents.

Birthday and Chuck E. Cheese

On Elia's birthday we took her to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate. She had so much fun playing the games and eating pizza. Elia wasn't too fond of Chuck E. Cheese though. When he came by her she started shaking and saying "no". I guess a big mouse is not her favorite thing. :)

"Auntie" Mandy came along for the fun
