We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Apples to Apples...

The girl likes her apples!

Christmas at the Cabin

This year my parents rented a cabin at Mahoney State Park for us to have Christmas at. We enjoyed meals together, opening gifts, making Christmas visits to special people, playing games and Elli even got a ride in the cutest little red sled I have ever seen! It was a special time... but went too fast! We are glad we got to celebrate with them before this big storm that is upon us!

Happy Birthday Baby!

We celebrated Elliana's 1st birthday with family and friends a couple weeks ago. The girl fully enjoyed being loved on by lots of people who love her to pieces, eating a cupcake (the WHOLE thing... the girl must be related to her mama!!) and many wonderful gifts! It was a great night and she was a happy girl the whole time! These special events are such a joy... It is such a blessing to experience these fun things through the eyes of a child. Looking forward to many celebrations ahead...
Happy Birthday Baby... You're 1! Can't wait for all of the adventures that lie ahead of us this year!

She's 1!

I've said it before and I will say it once again... Where did the time go?? I seriously feel like I was just walking through those hospital doors on December 4 (10 days OVERDUE!!) to be induced so we could meet our little girl. Now she is walking, saying a few words, making us laugh like crazy, and fall in love with her more and more everyday... and will become a BIG sister in a little over a month! I am so incredibly thankful for this girl!

Elliana Grace.. your daddy and I love you so much! We are thankful that God has entrusted you to us- to raise you, love you, train you up to be a little lady that loves Him and wants to serve Him with all of your heart! You are a blessing and your life and the meaning of your sweet name will always be a reminder to us... The Lord Answers Prayers! We waited and prayed and prayed and waited some more and you couldn't have been more worth the wait! We enjoy today and look forward to the rest of the days we have with you!

Happy 1st Birthday Elliana Grace!
