Our Lil' Pumpkin

Yesterday we went to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina to take pictures, feed the animals, and go on a hay ride. It ended up being a rather cold and muddy day, but we had a good time nonetheless.

The longhorn was HUGE!

Donkey time!

What? They're not ALL MINE?!?

What a fun, chilly, and muddy day! Happy Harvest!

Shoes are a Girl's Best Friend

Ellie loves shoes. I like them, but I never considered myself a "shoe person" like my mom, sister, mother-in-law, and every other female I know. If I would let her, Ellie would spend all day in her room taking her shoes out of her drawers (in proper pairs, I might add) and putting them on herself. She has now taken to putting on mommy and daddy's shoes as well.

I would also like to add that Ellie usually wears pants around the house! It is just a strange coincidence that she happens to be running around in just a onesie on all three of these shoe wearing occasions. Gotta love those hamhocks! And I'm throwing in this pic of her in Melinda's adorable hat to show that she is a well-rounded accessorizer (and just cause it's darn cute!)
