Holiday Update!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!  Here's a few pictures!  The first one is Ellie in her Christmas dress.  She was really tired after church, can you tell?!!



These are Ellie's cousins on my side of the family.  Jaxon and Peyton.  Peyton was born December 16th.  So cute!!


Peyton and Ellie on Christmas Eve in their matching outfits from my Aunt Melyn.


Christmas morning at our house.  The last 5 years I've asked for a baby for Christmas, and this year I got her!  So I put a bow on Ellie and stuck her under the tree!!!  Hahaha-- best present EVER!!!!!!!



This is Ellie and one of her cousins on the Hill side on Christmas Day.  Ellie and Taya are only a week apart!  So cute!!!!  


My whole family at the Crapo Party!  We're all here!  It was so much fun to have Sara and Brandon here from Ohio!


And the last few are Ellie with some of her new toys from Christmas!  




This last one is my favorite!  I love the look on her face!!!

What a blessing Ellie has been!  She is getting so big and we can't wait for 2009.  We'll finalize Ellie's adoption and have her sealed to us... CAN'T WAIT!

She looks so big compared to her little cousin. I am glad she's still growing like a weed. What a great gift, indeed! And this next year will just get better.

i can't believe how big she is getting - in the picture with the three cousins my eyes first went to the little baby because that is what i remember her being :) and i love that you put a bow on her head and under the tree that made me laugh

Jenny, your little one is precious. I already know you're the best mom ever. I loved the pictures you took of her. 2009 will be great for you.

Rachel said...

OH, she is so big!! It happens too fast! I would say take lots of pictures but I think you and Mandi have that taken care of!!

What a cute little family you are :)
