Your Big Girl Room!

OMG you are a Big Girl!!!

You have moved into your Big Girl room with a new Big Girl bed!! You have done so well sleeping in your new room :)

As your Daddy and I figured you'd want everything PINK and PRINCESS. You've also gained a new sleeping buddy..... Maggie!

We just got Maggie her new PINK bed to sleep on in your BIG GIRL Room! She definitely likes it because, she didn't move all night.


Your Daddy has spoiled you....... since you've moved into the Big Girl Room you have kept the tv GiGi used....... I know we are going to have a battle when it is taken out in 2 weeks. Why 2 weeks you ask well you little sister Edie is expected to arrive and GiGi will be here with us as well!! Yea reinforcements

So we shall see how that goes and that means back to the books my little princess!!!

Your Daddy and I are so happy that you LOVE your Big Girl Room! You always want to hang out in your room and ask for Daddy and Mommy to lie in bed with you :)

Watching you grow each day is a special moment I will cherish FOREVER. I just hope you don't grow up too fast!!!!!!!


We love you with all our hearts
Daddy and Mommy

Elly Ann's Jingle Bells

Elly Ann has recreated the classic "Jingle Bells" song into her own! You'll have to listen, its just too cute!
A little insight might help..... we are headed to Christmas Towne next weekend in Williamsburg, VA to see Santa Clause the Elfs and his Reindeer!!

Cant wait to share pixs from Christmas Towne!! Christmas is coming so fast this year!!! Makes it so much with EA and her excitement for Santa and presents and family visiting!

Our CHRISTMAS Tree

On Saturday Dec. 1, the whole family packed into the car set out to find our Special Christmas Tree!
We headed down I-66 with no traffic worries (which was a delightful suprise) to WhiteTop, VA. The countryside where there were lots of farms and winerys.

We ended up at Ashcroft Tree Farm, which was georgous! Lots of trees to choose from and a beautiful pond and owners house that overlooked everything.

EA was overjoyed to be getting her Christmas Tree and to be the one that picks it out!!!

Jason got a saw, yes hand-held saw to cut down the tree....... and we were off in search of the perfect Christmas tree.

EA found one she liked....... estimated at about 30 feet!! OMG!! Can't blame her though it would be super nice but HELLO no way its gonna fit on the car nor in the house, so off on the search again.....

WE FOUND IT! Everyone loves the tree and we have decided its OUR PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREE!

Jason proceeds to cut the tree and before we know it, its a success!! We are hauling it off to be bailed and tied to the car.

Once we got home with our Perfect Christmas Tree, EA was super excited to decorate it and see it all light up!! Who can blame her I was excited too.

A litle suprise I discovered while trying to put lights on the tree....... OUCH its prickley!!!! First time I had to wear gloves to put lights on a Christmas Tree...... Well, you tell me what you think, it was definitely worth it!!

One little tid bit..... EA did a wonderful job decorating the tree! She even put 2 to 3 ornaments on the same branch..... its too cute and we plan on leaving her decorating style. WE LOVE YOU Elly Ann :)

Big Sister!

EllyAnn is super excited to be a Big Sister and especially excited to be having a little sister!!! She couldn't sleep the night we found out, too cute! She is always saying how she is going to take care of her lil sister and share her babies with her. We are so excited to watch them grow up together and see their bond grow and become stronger and stronger each day.

We love you so much EllyAnn and know you will be a fabulous Big Sister :)

Saturday was Elly's First Soccer practice @ Lee Rec Center with her buddy Christian. They were both in the same group with Coach Nick and they did awesome!! Coach Nick had them "dribbling", stopping the ball, doing a trick and even flying :) She is definitely looking forward to her next Soccer practice.
