Bieber Fever

We went to see Justin Bieber in concert here in San Antonio.  His concert sold out in minutes and filled the biggest venue in town, the AT&T Center.  A large group of us with our daughters headed out to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory before the tween heartthrob extravaganza began.  The concert was awesome.  Ella was amazing and sang and danced along to Carly Rae Jepson before Justin Bieber came out.  Sometimes I think she's a teen...

New Bike

To say her new bike from Grandma and Granddad is a big hit is an understatement!  She loves it!!

Christmas Morning

We always open our stockings first, in the hope to alleiviate some Christmas morning overload.  And then it's breakfast... this morning, it's snowman pancakes.

As every Christmas, we were spoiled!  A new bike from Grandma & Grandad, rollerskates from Papa, a scooter from Santa... along with lego, art supplies, ballet portrait, and possibly the best present ever... tickets to Justin Bieber! 

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve letter to Santa... and reindeer food we spread on the lawn...

 Santa arrived!....

Christmas Cookies

Typical sugar cookies with a 6 year old girl.  Pink... typical Christmas color right?

Downtown San Antonio

We took Papa downtown and went to the Tower of the Americas and took in a cold and gray San Antonio skyline.   We walked through Hemisfair Park to the Riverwalk before heading for dinner at Maggiano's for Daddy's birthday...  Just like Daddy, Papa's learning to take some great images with my camera :)

Girl Scout Christmas Party

Winter Party

Papa was here for Ella's class party.  They made reindeer art, decorated a Christmas tree treat with an ice cream cone and icing, and played a game with her classmates.

Gingerbread

This year, she did most of the gingerbread herself...  love it!

Ella's Christmas Portraits

This year, I had my own studio equipment so I did Ella's formal portraits instead of taking her to a store studio.  We also had another visit with Santa....
