I love snow.

nope it didn't work. I thought maybe if I typed 'i love snow' then I would lead myself to believe that I love snow - but I don't. I'm over it, it's pretty, but I'm definitely over it. The kids do like it though and I broke out my camera for a few minutes the other day. Enjoy! 

2 years of Elaina

This sweet little 4.5# baby came into our lives 2 years ago today - Elaina means 'bright light' and she is indeed a bright light in our lives.

Happy birthday sweet baby girl!

We love you!

a photo shoot

with this little girl pretty much went like this...

then I may have bribed her a little and she gave me a couple pretty smiles!

her little mind is ALWAYS going....

Oh how I love this sweet little 4 year old! 

It's a party

Last weekend we partied... like it was 1999... (this morning's class at the gym is still running through my head) or I guess we more partied like it was two special little girls' birthdays :) 

They loved it - after the candles were blown out Lauren gave Elaina a great big hug... of course I missed that moment - preciousness

this was the end of the heart warming hug

lots of cousin love

hugs, spoils and love from all the aunts & uncles...

grandmas & grandpas!

We are so thankful you all made it here to celebrate with us - THANK YOU the girls had such a special weekend!!!
