You don't choose your family.

They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

Family fun!




Ella loved sitting at the coffee table with her big Sissy to eat PBJs for lunch - I can't believe how fast she is growing up, and I am so proud of the love that she and Lia have for each other already!

Lia and Ella made a super special birthday card for Papa


Ella having a bottle on Daddy's chest in the playroom before bedtime

That look right there...that's our girl ; )

A bath in the kitchen sink is so much fun!
Sweet Miller slept through the whole process of Lia covering him with all the blankets and pillows she could find, then stacking her Princesses and stuffed animals around too - HA!

Christmas morning 2012!!!!

Santa's snowy footprints on the carpet!
Good morning, Merry Christmas, Can we go see if Santa came????

All smiles in Mama and Daddy's bed!    


I love you!! Ella giving Lia a huge hug and a kiss - such sweet sisters!
