In October I heard that "Walking with the Dinosaurs" was coming to Salt Lake in January. I've been trying to talk Tyler into buying tickets ever since. But every month there was something more important that we needed to spend our money on (Business equipment, property taxes, business bills... boring stuff like that.) I decided if we weren't going to buy the tickets, we would have to win them. I personally entered at least 8 different contests. Trisha, Emily, my mom, & Ryan entered some as well. I had people calling me every time they saw a new contest. (Thanks Syd!) Obviously my hard work didn't pay off. Finally, on Monday, I was able to nag, whine, & eventually persuade Tyler to make the big purchase. Not too long after we bought the tickets for Saturday, Ella and I were invited along with
Emily & Cait to see the same Dinosaur Show last night with
Laura & Jane (They had 6 free tickets). We felt guilty at first, since we already had tickets for Saturday, but they insisted we come, and that they probably wouldn't be able to find anyone else to go with them at such short notice. If I were to say that Ella LOVED the show, it would be an understatement. Cait cried when the T-Rex came on stage. Ella cried when he left. We had a fabulous time! Thanks so much for inviting us Laura! Ella wants to see this show everyday. Luckily she gets to see it again on Saturday. What a Lucky Lucky girl!
(Although my camera isn't professional it wasn't allowed in the show :( I stole this cute picture off Laura's blog.)
Ella decided today that she wants to be a palaeontologist instead of running a vinyl cutter. (Her previous career choice.)
My mom's house.
Ella waiting for the show to begin.
Lily loved the show too! I don't think I've ever seen her sit that still for that long.
Ella has been praying daily to go to Book Club again. Her prayers were finally answered today, and she was able to attend a fun Monster themed book club.

Me: Did you know that Santa is coming tonight?
Ella & Lily both love helping in the kitchen. Especially when their dad is making muffins.
Today Ella threw her first snowball [at me].
At dinner, Lily dumped her soup out to see if she could find another carrot. When she found there were no more carrots, she put the soup back into her bowl (minus the broth).
