This morning Ella and I {along with our MOPS group} went to the Arbor House to visit and play Thanksgiving games with the elderly. If you have never heard of the Arbor House, it is an assisted living facility here in town, and it is absolutely beautiful! It was so rewarding to know that we could lift the spirits of those who live there by bringing our sweet babies and kids to visit. Ella is too young to have participated in the games, but she was still able to smile and wave at those who came. She was very interested in pointing out letters on the walls and looking at the flowers out the window too. :) We had such a good time!
After heading home and eating lunch it was time for our next event of the day. A friend of mine from high school hosted a playdate at her house. The mommies had fun chatting while watching the babies play. We also made cute little Christmas frames for the holidays. Thanks for such a fun time Julie and Chloe!
We then came home, took naps, and daddy came home from work early to take Ella to the park before he headed to the Mavericks game tonight. He also surprised me with my all-time favorite drink from Starbucks...a peppermint mocha! This was my first of many of the season, I'm sure. That truly made my day. :)
Ella's bedding finally came in today, so while they were at the park I went shopping {on my own...woohoo!} to get a few of the necessities to help get her room finished. There are still many things to be done, but at least we are making progress.

I am so happy you are getting to stay with your precious Ella and experience being a Mother to her every day. These moments are priceless. Oh and nothing on here about the Doctor visit! A birthday for Emmy? A peek at her? Don't leave me hanging!
