Evening Fun

Just had to throw in a couple of pics of Ell. She was all juiced up from getting her new horsey, "Echo". She named him (after her love of shouting "Echo!" in places that, well, echo). She fell in love with him at Walgreens when Daddy had to stop in for something. She absolutely sobbed when they had to leave, heartbroken that she couldn't be with the horsey anymore. A sweet lady actually started going around to people in the store trying to collect money so they could pitch in and buy her the horse, because the lady could see she loved it so much! How incredibly sweet of her, but that made Daddy feel terrible. So little Mookie cried the whole way out of the store (after Daddy purchased it with Christmas money sent to Ellison by family) since she couldn't ride him while strapped in her carseat. Amazingly, she forgot about Echo, as Daddy must have some mean distraction skills, and we got to suprise her by wipping him out of hiding the other night. She was SO excited!
She was still so pumped up from Echo that she grabbed her must-have accessories -- high heels, a purse, and a wand. I think she thought Echo was going to be her tranportation for a night out on the town.
