My Ella Bean

It is crazy that it is now December and Eleanor will be turning 18 months. She is so much fun and turning in to quite the little helper. Whenever I go to empty the dishrack she gets all excited and helps me  empty the bottom by handing me each item. Then she runs and pushes her chair over so she can help me with the top rack.

This past weekend we went to Los Angeles for a convention for Warren. He was gone during the day so Ella and I got to putz around and do stuff on our own.

We stayed at the Sheraton right by LAX and it was soooo nice, except the walls are very thin. I could hear our neighbors having some fun, luckily Ella and Warren slept through it. :)

On Saturday we went with my sister in law, Shauna and her husband Richard to Knottsberry farm. I've never been before. Sadly I was hoping there would be more farm. Also it was Toys for tots weekend and get in free with your military or government ID so it was crazy busy.

Shaunna was so nice and bought Ella a push along duck with rubber feet that smack when you push it. Ella had a ball with it and it kept her busy and close by when we would take her out of her stroller.

I went on this ride but I also got a picture of Shaunna and Richard on it. It swings you up 70 feet in the air so you are perpendicular to the ground.  

Here we are in front of Snoopy camp.

So overall it was a fun weekend. Nice to get away and not have to think about cooking or cleaning for a couple days.
