This is the most AMAZING farm I have ever been to!
We just returned on Sunday from our fun Christmas trip to Texas. Oh my gosh, we had a blast!!!!
We got there Wednesday night after an easy plane ride w/ Ellie. The flight wasn't full, so she got her own seat, and that was awesome. She did great during the takeof, took a nap, then hung out in her carrier/car seat the rest of the time. We were so relieved. MeMa & Tate came to pick us up at the airport!
Thursday morning, we got up and after Tate hogged/loved on Ellie for a while, Tate, Craig, Steve & I headed to their farm. It's about an hour and a half north of Dallas. We rode on the four wheelers (Tate's first time), explored, shot a rifle (Tate & I's first time shooting a gun), shot a sawed off shot gun (another first for Tate and I), and explored some more! We had a blast! Tate really had a great time... he kept saying how amazing it was :) The title of the post is a statement he made MANY times. He will definitely be going back up there w/ Papa this next year--especially next summer! After a drive through Dallas' HELLATIOUS traffic, we got back home (Ellie stayed home w/ Auntie Kim & MeMa) and headed to dinner. Of course, we got stuck in MORE hellatious traffic, so we couldn't even go eat where Craig wanted (we went about 5 miles in about 45 min--awesome)...so we ended up at Saltgrass steakhouse, which turned out to be really yummy.
Friday morning we got up and the Pollards (Terri, Macy, Derek & Kaden) were there (they got in late the night before)! We hung out w/ them all day and they loved on Miss Ellie. Carly came over too! Friday evening we headed out to Craig's Gram's for the Mitchen side's Christmas party...ate too much, opened presents, then it was time to get Ellie home!
Saturday was an absolute blast! All of the Clark's (Craig's mom's side) came over and we hung out all day, ate (of course), played Keno (family tradition), visited, opened too many presents and mostly: LAUGHED! I swear my tummy hurt the next day! And how Ellie slept through Terri's LOUD cackle is beyond me! We took a TON of family pictures--it was so much fun.
Sunday we got up and headed to the airport! Baby girl didn't do as well on the flight home, but we made it. Grandma & Grandpa picked us up from the airport and we got to hang out w/ them all day on Sunday. We were in SHOCK that the trip flew by so fast.
Here are some things I learned about Craig's family:
-Kaden does an awesome Michael Jackson impression. He gave me a run for my money.
-Aunt Terri loves cock. Rooster collectible items! Get your mind out of the gutter.
-Scherry's new nickname is Princess Fiona. You had to be there to get this one...
-Scherry & Kim don't like Christmas music and made me turn it off and put on 80's instead!!!
-Tate is now officially a redneck due to his love for shooting and four-wheeling (ok, I am too!!!)
-Craig's family is not good at following directions: "Please don't get us a bunch of stuff to bring back on the plane" :) We ended up hauling FOUR suitcases home :) We love it all though! Ellie got such awesome toys & Craig and I made out like bandits! Of course my favorite thing is the Coach Terri got me! I also LOVE our Elf on the Shelf from MeMa! Also, loved my Magic Bullet from Craig's Gram... but that couldn't make it back on the plane... Also Ellie got her first American Girl baby doll (thanks Helen & Carly!).
-D, D says D. Every letter makes a sound, D says D!
-The Clarks are CUT THROAT when it comes to playing Keno.
We hade such a good trip. I absolutely adore all of Craig's family and can't wait to go back! Love ya'll!

album 12\11\2009 (16 photos), by jennifer skinner
I just discovered that there is a button on snapfish that lets you share pics directly to your blog. COOL.
So, this week was fun! Grandpa watched Ellie all week--they had a blast together! I'm sure she wore him out a bit, but overall she was really good for him. He took her all over the place--McDonalds, Costco, Mall, Best Buy--and that's just what I knew about! She even talked him into buying her toys and a new jacket at the mall! She's certainly got him wrapped around her finger...
We have a busy weekend. Tonight is my company Xmas party, so Grandma is watching Elza Belle, then tomorrow Craig is golfing and I'm getting my hair did (should I get bangs???). Sat night, dinner at McCormick & Shmicks w/ mom and dad for my Bday (HA I scammed 2 b-day dinners out of them this year! Since dad was staying w/ us, we went to Outback on Tuesday, but since Mom couldn't go, we are going out again). Sunday, Craig and I have some last minute shopping to do for our Texas trip--we leave Wednesday! YIPPEE!!! Then, I need to come home and pack. I'm an OCD list writer (in general, but ESPECIALLY when it comes to packing), so I want to lay everything out ahead of time. This is the first time I'll be packing for three!!! We are so excited to see all of Craig's family though, and introduce Ellie.
So, here are a few pics from the last week or two.

Sorry!
Sorry I haven't posted in over a week... things are just a little hectic right now. We had lots of fun w/ all of our visitors... Aunt Julie was a big help w/ Ellie, then our friend Jeni came last weekend. We had a fun time.
This week, Grandpa is watching Ellie all week while mom and dad go to work! He said yesterday went great, but she didn't take a nap in the afternoon--bad girl.
Yesterday afternoon we went to the Dr. for Ellie's 4 month checkup. Dr. Letizia said she is a very healthy 4 month old baby girl! YAY! She is still in the 95 percentile for size, but we are glad for that! She gave us the ok to start introducing some solids. We tried rice cereal last night--she did OK...not quite a natural w/ the eating but being a product of Craig & I, she will probably catch RIGHT on to food. If she takes the rice cereal good for 3-4 days, Dr. L said we can start some other solids! EXCITING! What should we try!? I think I'm going to do avacado first!?! Other than that, the ONLY problem seems to be a slight case of excema on her belly... which seems to be coming and going with the weather (it's gotten COLD here!)
Which by the way, brings me to the point... how do we dress her for this weather? It's like 50 degress--which is cold here... but it's not THAT cold!
Here's a cute pic of her sucking her thumb in her stroller w/ her cow onesie on.
