Christmas Card/Random Pictures

First, I wanted to share a copy of our very first family Christmas card. We were so happy with how it turned out...our photographer did such a great job with the photos and designing the card!


Just thought I would post some cute pictures of Miss Ella from the past week too. We didn't do much last week, but enjoyed hanging out together at the house. This girl is all over the place and getting so brave! She is pulling up on things, turning around, and just letting go. Doesn't think twice about it! She also got her 5th tooth, which makes 2 on the bottom and 3 on the top. The 6th is visible too. I'll post a pic when I get a good one.



Attacking the camera! :)


She's getting pretty good at walking with her push toy.


Sitting by the Christmas tree...




Ella has been trying to feed herself for a while now, so tonight I let her grab the spoon and give it a go. As you can see, she has a ways to go, but man did she have a good time trying! :) She squealed and clapped the whole time. What a mess!!!


As for me, I have stayed busy reading the second book in the Twilight series, New Moon. (They are all SO long!) It is so good! I am going to finish it tonight and start the next one tomorrow. I also saw the movie again on Sunday with some friends that I taught with last year. I liked it a lot better the second time around. It is crazy how these books draw you in and make you want to read more! If you have thought about reading it...DO IT!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Yeah...I think the 3rd book took the longest for me to finally finish. The first and second one I made it through quickly.
You'll finish soon enough. Just wait until the 4th. You'll be so surprised!
Cute pictures of Ella! Love the one of her reaching into the tree. Barrett does the same thing, except he pulls them off and tries to EAT them!

Your Christmas card is wonderful! Made me smile and yes, cry. I love watching you go thru all the steps of having a family and watching you ALL grow and flourish together. Ella is one happy baby and it shows!
