Hats

I have a thing for hats, especially animal hats.  Someday I want to buy three hats and get family photos done...perhaps that will be my theme for a Christmas card one year.  I know that it's not Devin's favorite thing in the world but, he's a good sport.  Even little Ella is getting better with hats ^_^

Pinetop

Last week, Devin, Ella, and I went to Pinetop.  We had such a wonderful time while we were there.  We went to the fair in St. Johns and watched my Uncle Tom play with his 'Blue Crates' band.  It was a nice drive and we enjoyed listening to my uncle play harmonica and sing.  

My parents had given Devin and I a gift certificate to Los Coralas a Mexican food restaurant in Pinetop.  They took Ella to the 9/11 symphony and Devin and I went to dinner.  It was nice to have a night with Devin and to eat a full meal ;) 

Devin left on Sunday after we had a nice breakfast at Darbi's and went to Woodland Park to feed the ducks.  Ella though she ate a ton of breakfast still managed to eat all the bread we gave her to throw to them.  Although we were sad to see Devin leave, Ella and I were happy to stay a few more days.  We did a lot of shopping with my mom and went to lunch ever day.  It was nice to be able to hang out with her and watch how Ella interacted with my parents.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful families.  

Ella is such a lucky little girl with amazing grand parents.  

Thanks Grandma Flochie and Grandpa Moosie for such a wonderful time!!

Happy Birthday Devin!!!

Devin turned 28 last Wednesday!  We had a very chill birthday celebration this year.  We went to dinner with his family the weekend before :) Then on his actual birthday, we had a nice dinner and cake and ice cream.  I don't know how many ways I can say what a wonderful man Devin is....Ella and I are so lucky to have him in our lives.  This is a little bit late but, Happy Birthday Devin.  We love you very much.
