NYE (all hopped up on sugar)

Singing a little snip-it from her newest obsession, Doc McStuffins. 



New Year's Eve


With mama being pregnant and our time as a family of three shortening, we decided the perfect way to ring in the new year was with dinner as a family. To Greene House we went for a lovely early dinner followed by some walking around Kierland looking at the lights. 
What a year it's been - lots of highs and a few lows - but we are ready to welcome 2017 and all the joy and love it has to offer! 
After putting Ellie to bed, Brad and I went through our 2016 jar. I saw this idea a long time ago and was proud of us for actually sticking to it this year! Throughout the year, we wrote down memories/things that happened/exciting moments/etc and popped them in a jar to be opened on Dec. 31. So fun reliving so many moments from the last 365 days!

Christmas visit from Papa & Gigi


Papa and Gigi came to visit for a few days after Christmas. So much fun until they both came down with HORRIBLE colds. We felt terrible for them being so sick away form home, and I felt equally terrible that I had to basically keep Ellie as far as possible because the following week she and I were getting on a plane to DC and I just couldn't risk her getting sick. They were so down and out that we hardly took any pics, but I did snap a few their first day in town at the park.

Test drivin'


Yikes! Feels like I'm driving a BUS! We're on the road to minivan-land!
