Breaking the bank





When we first moved back to California Ella found this little yellow ceramic piggy bank. Ella wanted it so my mom gave it to her. Ella started asking anyone and everyone, "Have any coins?" Well as the bank filled up we realized that there wasn't a hole in the bottom and we would have to break the bank open to get the money out. We realized Ella would need a bigger piggy bank. For Christmas, Gabe found Ella a Sleeping Beauty piggy bank, that did have a hole in the bottom. Once the little yellow piggy got so full that you couldn't put another coin in it we decided to break it open and move the money to the Sleeping Beauty bank. In a little over 2 months, Ella had over $14 in the piggy bank. In addition to money we found my mom's memory card and magnets in the bank. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Ella's piggy bank!!!
