The Brautigams

Ella and I started our day out taking Sam Houston to the vet for his annual check up and shots. Ella was so fascinated that dogs get needles and don't cry. She kept reassuring him that he would be fine and that she loved him very much. Here is a photo of her and her dog.

After that we got donuts and headed home to wait for Tyler to come over...

The Brautigam's which are practically family came over today to do Christmas for Tyler and Ella. Tyler, Ryan and Erin are going to Minnesota tomorrow so today was the last day we would see them before the holidays. Tyler walked in the door and said Ella I have a present for you. They were both so excited to open their gifts. They were hugging everyone and playing. We got Tyler a basketball game which at first frustrated Ella and then she got the hang of it, which frustrated Tyler that she was doing so well. They got Ella a game, right up her alley and some horses which Jack, Christopher and Ella thought were awesome. These kids lucked out.

Merry Christmas Brautigams, Happy New Year!

The kids had so much fun playing together today. They thought it was fantastic getting rides from Daddy even better when they paired up.

We went to Lowes to get some things and while we were there Ella thought she might like to get a rug for her room. So we were looking at all the rugs and nothing really would do, not much pink at Lowes. We start walking down the aisle and Ella stops dead and her tracks and says OH MOM, ITS PERFECT. I say whats perfect and she walks over to the AstroTurf and says this rug sparkles. Well John and I were laughing. Here is a picture John took with his phone.
