Christmas Photos complete

I am so incredibly happy with Ellis' birthday pics and their Christmas card pics. Brandi did a great job, espically since it was a spur of the moment photo shoot. I used the pic of them by the tree for the Christmas card, but I have to find some use for the ones with lights! I am going to go surfing for ideas to do with these adorable pics. I am thinking blow them up and put in large red and green frames to hang every christmas, I don't know if I will ever get tired of seeing these sweet faces, but they may.

Latest update on the house

Since I am "blogging" now, I realize I probably need to write more than I d on facebook, it's a lot more interesting that way. For those who don't know, we are in the process of building a house! Crazy stressful is an understatement and we haven't even poured concrete . I am trying to take it slowly and enjoy as much about it as humanly possible. This is the first and hopefully the last house I will ever build. Our dream home is going to rest on top of a beautiful hill over looking Hwy 311, just enough traffic for people to see it, but calm enough to feel like we are secluded from the world. As we progress through this endeavor I will try to keep everyone updated on where we are, decisions we are making, mistakes we learn from, and laughs along the way. This is where it will begin.

Ellis' first birthday

Ok, I am way too excited about Ellis upcoming birthday. Although I still am not sure WHERE we are having this extravaganza, it is going to be too cute though. Her hat came in today, I think it is precious and mom finished her outfit last night - red shirt, white fur skirt, red and white leggins with fur trim and red paten leather shoes!!!!!! I can't wait. I do need to settle in my mind what peppermint treats I am going to make, there are just too may choices on that one though!

Pic uploading

I am just checking out the complexity of uploading pics to my blog, oh and aren't these the most adorable boots I bought Kenlee for Christmas, from mom.
