There's a REASON why we tied our christmas ornaments on a string this year! :)

I love the Christmas season. The twinkly lights, the family gatherings, the crinkly wrapping paper...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

(The best part of this day was playing in the box that grandma and grandpa Balfour sent Daddy's present in. That plus chewing on a party hat...who could ask for anything more?

Elianna has learned how to sit...
