Happy New Year!

Hello, 2011!

Our party plans fell through {is everyone sick right now?!} so our little family celebrated by going out to dinner and then counting down to 8:00 pm.

You have to be festive on New Year's Eve, even in a high chair at a restaurant!

Swirls for the grown ups!

Back at home, we got our party started!

And made our New Year's Resolutions.

Ellie {without any prompting!}
-Try more new foods.
- Give more hugs.
- Be better at sharing with her sister.

Ryan
-Start going to the gym again.
- Go to church.

Kristin
- Be on the computer less {I'm thinking 3ish blog posts a week for Ellie-Town in 2011}.
- Get more organized.
- Go to church.
- Lose the last of the 'baby weight.'  Yes, almost 16 months later it's still baby weight!

 2010 was a blast and we look forward to more adventures in Ellie-Town in the year to come.

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Because the preschool play video really is that bad,





Thank you to all of our family and friends for making this past year so special.  We are blessed to live in Ellie-Town and cherish every day filled with the adventures our Elizabeth and Madeline. 

We wish you a safe and happy holiday and look forward to more fun in the new year!

xoxo,
Ellie-Town

Up.

Who replaced our baby with a mountain goat?

Doesn't it figure that when they are doing the crazy stuff you want to photograph their hair is in their eyes and they don't have leggings on?  Ah, well...

The Gymboree classes might be paying off a little too well.  There was a balloon on a ledge and the convertible car seat was just step one of the foiled plan.
