2016! A little late starting....
We started off the new year with a big bang! I took you to your first circus in downtown Tampa with your best friend Ansley. I used to go to the circus all the time when I was a little girl and I couldn't wait to take you to it. There's a big controversy going on right now regarding the abuse and use of living elephants. This will probably be the last year you'll ever see an elephant in the circus and I wanted to make sure that you saw it. It was an amazing day and we had so much fun together.

Bye bye North Pole! Hello 2016
You carried your suitcase throughout the entire airport until we got to our gate. We were so sad leaving the north pole but we were excited to come home to daddy. We love being at the cabin and love being with my family!
I'm really excited for 2016… There's a lot of things to celebrate in life together and I'm looking forward to spending it with you. Ella, I love you so much! I hope you enjoyed this book of your life. Xo
New Years Eve
We went to Lakewoods resort for New Year's eve and you and Burke had so much fun dancing with the band on the dance floor. You danced for about two hours straight!
Showtime!!!
You're so excited to play in the snow that you pull daddy out of bed at 7 o'clock in the morning. He taught you how to make snowing jewels in snow men. We didn't have anything for eyes and nose so you use your own crayons! You two sang all the famous snowman songs together. "Frosty the snowman…
First time bowling with daddy...
You totally remembered how to bowl and you show daddy how to do it! We had so much fun in Hayword, Wisconsin. We are at the Anglers restaurant for lunch and next-door was up bowling alley for kids.
Auntie Meegs & her boyz
You had a wonderful time at the cabin this entire week. Meagan and all her boys met us there and we had so much fun. Every day we did something special outside whether if it was sledding or hiking or building snow people we had such a great time. Every night we made special dinners and desserts and You lead prayer every single night before dinner. Berkey kept him biting you the whole time but you're pretty good about it. You really love spending time with the recent Quinn, especially Quinn. You told me you really don't want to leave the cabin but you love daddy morning you're excited to fly home to see him. You squeeze me really tight sometimes and say you love me so much you don't know what to do with all this love! I love sleeping with you at the cabin you're like an electric blanket you're so nice and warm all the time. You always do a really great job at playing with your cousin so nicely. I'm so proud of you. Quinn said you're becoming a really nice Christian because he overheard you talking to God. 
The Drake
Christmas dinner at The Drake in downtown Chicago on Michigan Ave. uncle Noel and Lindsay met us at the Drake and we had a wonderful dinner party they are. They gave you seven Barbie dolls for Christmas! It was a special night because my mom used to have lunch with her father in the same restaurant. The waiter's name was Tony as well. My grandfather Tony definitely was with us that night. You loved the Christmas Carolers that walked around the dining room and singing everyone's favorite Christmas songs.
Chicago Christmastime 2015
We flew in and hit the town by storm. We met our new cousin Bennett, went to Morton Arboretum and looked at the Christmas lights, drank hot chocolate for the first time and roasted marshmallows in the winter. We went to Brookfield zoo and saw the zoo lights and played with our friends Caroline and Will and auntie Susie. Had a blast with cousin Eddie all week long! You fed and Took care of baby Bennett too! We went to the Auditorium theater in Chicago and saw the most beautiful production of The Nutcracker. We ate at all of mommy's favorite restaurants: Rodities in Greektown and the Grapevine in Lagrange. Grammy let you and Eddie decorate her Christmas tree and we had a great time with the four bags of tinsel that she gave you.
