Christmas Parade

We went to the beach to see our friends the Gowins
for a relaxing weekend. They have a Christmas
parade every year that we got to see this year.















They throw lots of beads, candy and toys to the
kids... Ellie cleaned up this year....

My friend took these wonderful pictures of the kids and
I had to share

Sleeping Jumper

Ellie's Christmas Program

Ok, I cannot figure out where she gets it, but Ellie
stole the show in her Christmas program this morning.
She walked in blowing kisses and waving to everyone
she saw while still ringing her little bell. I have never been
so proud and tickled at her flare for stealing everyone's
heart.




















Noah is smiling proudly at his sister.....then promptly
falls asleep to the music.



















Papa came to see his little grandaughter...arent they cute















The kids were so cute and sang their little hearts out...

Christmas fun

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! Look at me styling and profiling
in my Santa hat... (Who is this Santa character anyway??)



















Nana got Ellie these wonderful pj's for the holidays
so we decided to pose in front of the little Christmas
tree upstairs in the loft for everyone. I especially love
the hat...














God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas

School Birthday party

Ellie is looking at the book all her classmates made for her for
her birthday.. Lots of wonderful drawings with descriptions of what
each thing is...















They are singing to her Happy Birthday...



















Eating the cupcakes she had mama make
then she decorated with LOTS and LOTS
of sprinkles

Sitting up

Well its official, he can sit on his own. Not even 6 months old yet. Well, we are in for a very active little man in the Blanchard household.



















Uncle Tetrick also gave Ellie this Elmo table of which
Noah thinks its the cats meow. The table is perfect height
for him to sit and play and make lots of noise. Ellie has
taken it upon herself to help him make the most of this
very noisy toy..THANK YOU UNCLE TETRICK!!!















He is loving the new freedom, especially in the bathtub.
Being able to sit up without help means a whole lot more fun than he realized.
