Ice Skating!

We took the girls ice skating at the Memphis Zoo this past weekend. Ever since they went ice skating at Rockefeller Center over Thanksgiving, it's all we hear about (particularly from Sophie). 

Can you tell she was happy to be there?!?!?

John with all 6 of his daughters. Our three, obviously. Plus Lisa (our nanny), Madison (Ryan's best friend for the past 8+ years), and Sydney (who just played "Annie"). 

This made me laugh because even when Sophie would bust her little bum, she'd still just smile and laugh and get back up to do it all over again. 

We can't wait to go back again!!!!

The many faces of Miss Ella Bella

So sorry for the blogging hiatus! Once we started rehearsals for "Annie", it was all I could do to keep the laundry washed, the house (semi) clean, dinner cooked, etc. Blogging was the last thing on my mind! This is such a fluff post, but I gotta get my feet wet again somehow.

Of all of our girls, Ella is definitely the biggest ham! She sees the camera and is instantly posing. She makes me laugh, though, because she wants to look through all of the pictures to see which ones "aren't cute". It's hard to stay focused on being mad at her when she's flashing one of these faces at you!

I love this one because you can see the big gap where she lost her two bottom teeth. So sweet. She really does just want her two front teeth for Christmas!

Backstage at "Annie". What a silly little orphan. 

She said this one was "cutest". I tend to agree.

This is the face we see when the princess isn't exactly amused with whatever we have said to her.

Caught her off guard while she was giggling. This is one of my favorites.
