3 months

This little boy is the sweetest thing in the world! He is so happy, sleeps well and puts up with a few bumps and shoves from his big sister......who in the last few weeks has decided she would like to "send him back"! Sorry sister.....he is here to stay :)

These boots were made for walkin'

So these boots have quite a story. I have been eyeing these for over a year....waiting till she was big enough to love them! Well I thought it would be perfect for her birthday and Aunt Cadie said she would LOVE to give them to her. Well these puppies must be popular cause they were on backorder and finally arrived two days after Christmas! Aunt Cadie was so excited to give them to Elsie.....so cute! She opened the box and said "BOOTS"! Our little cowgirl is just too precious!

Thank you Aunt Cadie....WE ALL love them!!!

Extended holiday....

Uncle Thom (Scott's Uncle) was in town for the holidays with his sweet girlfriend Annie so we got together for a dinner out at Nana and Pops! We weren't able to see Ry and Kristy for Christmas so we decided to let the girls exchange gifts last night. We missed Aunt Kristy....she was not feeling too well and stayed home to rest up! Here is Isabelle modeling her new Patagonia vest.....not nearly as exciting as new toys but we hope she will enjoy it. I think I have forced my love of "fashion shows" on Elsie as I make her try clothes on as soon as they arrive. As a result she loves clothes and will usually try things on right away. This will be bad news for daddy's pocketbook very soon! I think I have created a monster!!!

Isabelle sure is cute :)

Semi-controlled CHAOS

Elsie had her Christmas program at school on Friday. It was hilarious!!! I couldnt even get a clear shot of Elsie because of all the other "paparazzi". The kids were herded on stage to "sing" Jingle Bells. They were supposed to be shaking the bells as they sang. As you can see there was not much singing or shaking going on.....with the exception of our friend Will B. He was shaking his groove thing with the biggest smile on his face!

This picture is hilarious.....that is Cousin Avery next to Elsie and she is looking at Drew (friend in Elsie's class) with puzzlement. I think she is wondering where his beard is......

Will B dancing

The whole time they were supposed to be singing, Elsie was staring at me with this stone-cold look as if to say "how dare you make me do this". Never-cracked-a-smile!

But she sure is cute!

Blowing kisses to Elsie down the pew.....a sign of things to come? We will see.....

Uncle Ryan is quite an artist....he is giving Elsie a few pointers!

And Nana made it to the show too!
