Kitchen Chair

These last few days Ellie has been practicing her walking skills, not on the toy walker that is meant for such things, but on the kitchen chairs.

Christmas 2009/January 2010

I accidentally loaded these pictures in reverse order, so I am going backward chronologically. At the beginning of January was our three year anniversary. It was a really busy day because John's little sister, Norma, got married the same day. It was a beautiful ceremony in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I was thrilled that would could see that on our anniversary. It probably made me focus too much on us rather than Norma and Hema, but it was still wonderful.
These are the beautiful flowers that John gave me between the wedding and the reception. I thought they were so gorgeous!
This was us trying to get a picture of both of us and the flowers. It's hard to get it at the right angle.
So we settled for this one.
Throughout the Christmas holiday many people commented how much Ellie's hair has grown. We love it that her hair does crazy things after baths and when she first wakes up.

This was my main Christmas project. I learned how to crochet and made these hats for my parents and grandparents. There were four attempts to make my mom's hat. I ended up finishing it on Christmas morning on the drive to their house. :)

Ellie had a hard time opening her presents, so we kind of had to do it for her. She loves all of her new toys though.
Here she is with her daddy in one of her Christmas dresses. It actually is borrowed from her cousin, but I thought she looked so sweet in it.
This is her first encounter with Santa. Love the look on her face.
