Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. JD's brother was able to come home, and his older sister and family were here as well. My Mother in laws parents are living with them now so they were able to have Christmas with 3 of their grandkids and 8 of their great grand children.We had a quiet morning opening presents at home and then we headed down to spend the day with the rest of the family. One of the cousins got a little Power wheels Jeep and Mason loved it. We had a Wonderful time and this has been a great year for our family and I know there are many more years of joy and happiness going on around here.

This is what we've been up to the past month or so.  Ellie had another dance recital, we had a Fall festival at school with Dell, Mason is into everything and Zane is growing like a weed. He is standing on his own now so I suspect walking is just around the corner. Oh my where has the time gone I can't believe we only have a few days of 2011 left.

Birthday Girl

Ellie Mae turned 6 in Nov. It is truly amazing how quickly the time goes and how my sweet little baby girl is turning into a smart, funny, amazing young lady. She had a nice day it was the last day before Thanksgiving break so we did presents at home and then had a family dinner and more presents on Thanksgiving with family. I'm thinking about throwing her a half year birthday in June so she can have a party with friends, and then we can play outside too. We've found it very difficult to do around Thanksgiving.
