Bethel football, Teething, Thanksgiving, Christmas Tree

Although Kyle had a broken arm, we decided to go see his last game. Ellsey was was pretty excited to take in a football game at the Metrodome.



Ellsey was pretty fascinated with Grandpa Boersma's name tag. She also thought it tasted pretty good too.



Ellsey got to see cousin Tatum (Naomi Hachaba's son).



She decided it was a pretty fun day and was quite happy about the experience (until she got hungry).



Ellsey has been getting teeth lately too. She has taken it pretty well so far, but I think she is on the easier teeth right now. So far she has her two bottom teeth.



Here's a little closer view of those toofers.



We were blessed to share Thanksgiving this year with Doug and Alicia Gunderson, but we were all distracted by Ellsey's 'entertainment'.  The video below is approximately 2 minutes, but she carried on for a solid 5 minutes prior to starting this video.  It was quite funny.



The day after Thanksgiving we went to the tree farm to pick out our tree. The tree was a little stubborn but I got it down eventually. It kept binding on the saw blade so Steph had to push it over while I cut.



Then I 'man-handled' the tree to the pickup. Might have been just trying to show off for my girls :)



Steph got the tree set up and I put the lights up outside. It was quite a productive black Friday.

'Recent' happenings

Ellsey had her first Halloween and the Boersma family went as "Angry Birds."  How do we compare to the real thing?





Ellsey really enjoys her squash!




Ellsey also enjoys her bouncy seat!




She has been working on crawling too!




We also discovered a tooth in her mouth, but don't have a photo or video of that because she seems quite protective of her little 'toofer'.



And probably the most exciting milestone of the last month or so is this:
