FUN WITH MY NEW TOYS

 
 
 
ELISE IS NOW STANDING! SHE GETS A LITTLE BOLD AT TIMES- BRIAN CALLS HER "PEANUT KNEIVEL". SHE LOVES ALL OF HER NEW TOYS! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!

 
 
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU HOW HARD WE PARTIED... ELISE WENT TO BED AT 8:00, I FELL ASLEEP AT 10:00, AND BRIAN WENT TO BED AT MIDNIGHT. OH HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED! I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY THOUGH. 2006 WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL YEAR EVER AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SPENDING EACH NEW YEAR WITH MY LITTLE GIRL! 

PAJAMA SPA PARTY

 
 
WITH ALL THE CRAZINESS OF THE HOLIDAYS, WE NEEDED SOME RELAXATION. WE HAD A SPA PARTY AND HAD A GREAT TIME! WE NEED TO START DOING OUR GIRLS NIGHT OUT ONCE A MONTH! 

FAMILY CHRISTMAS PICTURE

 
AMAZING- A PICTURE WHERE WE ARE ALL LOOKING AT THE CAMERA! 

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES

 
 
 
WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS- ALTHOUGH WE GOT THE BEST PRESENT BACK IN APRIL! ELISE GOT SO MUCH STUFF AND WAS THOROUGHLY AMUZED BY ALL OF THE WRAPPING PAPER. BY THE WAY, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT WITH THE PEOPLE WHO PACK ALL OF THE TOYS- IF I SEE ANOTHER CLEAR TWIST-TIE I AM GOING TO SCREAM!!! 

GINA HELD ELISE!!!

 
HERE IS PROOF THAT GINA FINALLY HELD ELISE! SHE HAS REFUSED IN THE PAST BECAUSE "ELISE IS WAY TOO SMALL". LOOK AT THE LITTLE CHUNK NOW! 

SANTA PAWS

 
OVER THE HOLIDAYS WE TOOK A GIFT BASKET TO THE ANIMAL SHELTER. WE TOOK TOYS AND TREATS FOR THE ANIMALS AND COOKIES FOR THE STAFF. I WANT TO TEACH ELISE THAT "IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN RECEIVE", SO WE WILL DO THIS EVERY YEAR. WHEN SHE IS OLDER SHE CAN PICK THE CHARITY OF HER CHOICE. SHE SEEMS TO LOVE ANIMALS, SO I THINK SHE WILL STICK WITH THIS ONE!
