Lily...2 months old!

Our beautiful girls!

Lily's Blessing Day

We blessed Lily on Saturday January 9th. She wore the dress that Ella wore- my mom made it and we thought it would be special for both of our girls to wear it. We are so grateful for our wonderful families and friends who were able to share this special day with us!

Ho Ho Ho!

We had such a fantastic Christmas! Ella really got into it and loved it all, Lily could have cared less. We spent Christmas morning by ourselves and then Jeff's family came over for the afternoon.

Ella's favorite present was a hobby horse she got from Santa. It's all she asked Santa for and the best part is that we found it at the Dollar Store...she couldn't have been happier! If only we'd known that a $1 horse would be all she needed!

All Ella asked Jeff's dad for was for him to bring her back some coconut syrup from Hawaii...well she got it! He wrapped each one individually, it was pretty funny.

Then he gave her her real present...

Ella is already asking how many more days until next Christmas. It was a great time to be together as a family and celebrate!

Christmas Eve

We celebrate Christmas with Jeff's mom and step dad on Christmas Eve. There was great food, family and gifts! Grandma wanted the grandkids to participate in a talent show so Ella and her cousin Katie sang Jingle Bells!

Before bed, we let Ella open one present... new pjs and slippers of course! Jeff then read "The Night Before Christmas" and it was off to bed!

Preschool Christmas

Ella had her Christmas program at preschool this week. The kids were so cute singing songs. Of course there was the one kid who sang really really loud and then there was the kid who covered his eyes for the entire program. Afterwards, there were refreshments and tons of projects to take home that Ella had done in school. Ella's teacher, Mrs. Chris, is fantastic and does such a great job with all the kids!

Cutie Pie

One week old!! We just love her!

Girls Night Out

It was so great having my mom here for almost 2 weeks. My mom and Ella were best buds and did everything together. It was such a big help and we miss her so much! The night before she left, we sent her and Ella on a special night out to the Disney Princess On Ice. They had a great time and Ella will always remember it! Thanks mom, we love you!

I'm a little late on these pictures with everything going on but still wanted to show off what a cute Tinker Bell Ella was!

Halloween Ballerina

Ella's ballet class performed in the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point this past weekend. Her class danced to the "Purple People Eaters" and Ella decided she wanted to be a Halloween kitty cat. She was darling and loved being up on the stage!
