Happy Birthday Ella!

Ella turned 3 years old today. It is really hard for me to believe that my little girl is already 3. We spent a very relaxing weekend at Smith Mountain Lake with my parents. Next weekend will we have a birthday party at Romp-N-Roll with all her friends and family.

Happy New Year!

Wishing all our friends and family a year full of love, hope, and happiness!

Four Generations

My grandmother is 94 years old and in pretty good health. Here is a picture of the 4 generations together.

Christmas Dinner

We had a great Christmas morning opening gifts with my parents, sister, brother-in-law, and grandmother. Ella got a little overwhelmed and wanted to play with everything as she opened it so she didn't get through all her gifts until later in the day. We headed to mom and dad's house for dinner with Dave's family. It was a very nice day with family!

Loving on Baby Emmy

This Christmas Eve we went to church with some very close friends of the family and then headed to Nancy and Kevin's house for a "family" gathering. Ella had a great time running around and especially holding baby Emmy!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is making the time to get together with friends and family. We are so blessed to have such special people in our lives.

Ella dancing with one of the "Honkers"

Some dear friends of ours gave us tickets to take Ella to see "Elmo's Green Thumb." We had outstanding seats and the show was excellent. Our seats were so close to the stage that the characters would come down and give the kids "high-fives" and hugs. One character had Ella come out in the aisle and dance! She was was so excited! Thank you MAG and Travis for a wonderful day!
