First Visit with Santa!!!

Henry went to visit Santa tonight for the very first time . . . and as you can see, he did not exactly LOVE the experience. Ha!! We had fun nevertheless, and he laughed all the way home. Maybe next year he will be ready to ask for that new truck!!


Sorry for the blurry shots - no flash photos allowed at the North Pole!!

Visiting Cousin Gavin in Sylva





Our family took a day trip to Sylva, NC to visit our new cousin, Gavin. He was absolutely precious and a great snuggler. We had a wonderful time, and we even got the chance to attend the Sylva Christmas Parade (with Cousin Taylor performing). It was a great way to get ready for the holidays.

Henry is Busy all the Time!!






Henry sure has been busy this month. He has learned several new words (apple, cow, kitty, and his most favorite . . . no). He has learned to climb the stairs on his playset and zips down the slide all by himself. He loves to ride his airplane all over the house (thank you again to Aunt Jenn and Uncle Rob!!), and he also likes to jump!!

Ellington Family Reunion 2007

This weekend, I went on my very first trip to the beach! It was the annual Ellington Family Reunion, and I had a great time. I met my awesome cousin Simon for the very first time, and I got to play with my uncles, aunts, Grandma Mac, Grandpa Pop, and many other family members. I loved the beach . . . and I loved eating many handfuls of sand as well - yummy!


Here I am with the boys. Mom wanted us to pose, but we had more fun things to do!





Cousin Simon and I hang out by the water. We had a great time playing together.










My first encounter with seaweed!! I wasn't so sure about that stuff!



Playing at the Beach is tough work . . .
