((hmm...after reading my post I realized that maybe my title was confusing...what I meant was that Ella is #4 (her shirt) on her soccer team this year, PEOPLE!))

Ella played her first soccer game of the season last week (Uh...yeah, little late on the pics!), and I took approx 400 photos...basically until my fingers turned numb from the cold! Love it! :D

I was completely amazed at how well she did - she was right in there kicking the ball like crazy, and this week she even scored (or closely assisted) a goal!!! I had no idea that a kid of mine could be that good...and it's only been 2 weeks!!!! She simply MUST have some of her Aunt Deb and Dianne's gene's in there... ;)
Hard to see, but Ella's actually kicking the ball here!!

With a new year also comes the "Fab Four". 2 little girls that are in Ella's class (Chloe and Halle) plus Halle's friend, makes up the Fab group...it's really quite cute!! (When they aren't playing...LOL!)
The Fab Four hugging, awwwwwww!!!
