Christmas Time!

So...I will start at the top!! It was so fun to have the majority of or family together for Christmas this year...we missed Kameron and Jess! The top pic is of Elle and her cousin Makenna opening presents on Christmas morning! They both got little princess blankets from Grandma Savik to wrap thier baby dolls in. Makenna got some dress-up clothes and Elle got a play kitchen. They had a lot of fun playing together! Next pic is Dustin and Dad playing with all of the cousins downstairs...It was so fun to see them all playing together. Next pic...Trent took Ryan and Dustin ice fishing - - I am pretty sure that Dustin was the lucky fisherman of the day! It was nice for them to get away for the day! One of the nights that everyone was here, mom and dad, graciously, watched all of the grandkids and let the adults get together at my sister Julie's house for a game night! We had so much fun!! Thanks mom and dad!! And the last pic is of Makenna and Elle taking a bath. They did this frequently over the ten day period and enjoyed it more and more each time. Hopefully, they grow up to be best buddies! Anyhow...it was so fun to have everyone here. Can't wait for Thanksgiving!!

Trick or Treatin' with the Cousins

So Elle was still on the mend from the six day flu that she had previous to Halloween, but she looked so cute...I had to take her out! Aunt Brenda called and asked if we wanted to go around with the cousins and trick or treat downtown Springville. It was so fun to see the boys dressed up as Dracula, the Fire "Chief", and of course the little dalmation! Elle, was the cutest BYU cheerleader I have ever seen! It was fun...thanks for inviting us to tag along!! PS...I gave Elle that little plastic purse for her candy...but before we left the house she had to put her fake cell phone and some lip gloss inside!! Such a girl!!

Fall in Utah...Ahh

I am sorry...but there is nothing more beautiful then Utah in the fall! I was excited that I made it back before all of the color was gone! My sister, Julie and I and Elle met my good friend Collette and her daughter, Allie for breakfast. It just happened to be the morning of the BYU homecoming football game! That is why we are dressed in our Cougar garb!! It was so beautiful that morning...we decided to take some pictures!! Why not?!?

Snowin' & Snoozen'

This is Elle experiencing her first snow in Nebraska! She was kind of upset that it covered up all of her leaves and rocks which she was so fond on collecting! She didn't want to touch it at first...but then decided it was okay! When we came in that day, she was cold so I snuggled her up in a blanket on the couch. She must have got worn out outside...cuz she actually fell asleep sitting up!! This is a feat in itself...she hates to sleep! The next couple pictures are of her and grandpa...she fell asleep watching football and twirling her hair!! So cute!

Super Model!!

So My mother and sister-in-law spent the day with Elle and I on Friday! We went to the mall to look for a halloween costume. We were just casually walking when we were stopped by Kiddie Kandids and they asked me if they could take some pictures of Elle!! Of course, I was flattered and so I said yes!! She did look so cute!! Anyway...they gave me a free 5x7...this is a picture of the picture!!

Poppy's Pumpkin Patch

We finally had a nice day here in Norfolk, NE and we headed out to enjoy it! While at the library, I saw a flier for Poppy's Pumpkin Patch which was located only a couple of miles from where we live!! We took our friends, the Franklin's, and just had a really good time! Elle was having so much fun, she did not want to go...she didn't want to leave the pumpkin patch, then she didn't want to get out of the train, then she didn't want to get off of the merry-go-round, then she didn't want to get out of the corn box, then she didn't want to let go of the puppy...she would have stayed there forever!! She got lots of comments throughout the day about just "how cute she is"...and I was just thinking "what a stinker" she was being!! She is currently taking a very long nap and mommy is loving every minute of it!!

Pretty in Pink

I posted a picture of Elle in curlers and received a few requests to post a picture of what she looks like when the curlers come out...so here you go!! The one on the top right was before the curlers...but she sure was a cutie pie!
