Ellie Christine

A few weeks ago, we had a weekend dedicated to Ellie. She is the cutest little girl I've ever seen. I wanted to post a few pictures of her, because Andrew and I spend a lot of time with her and Tristan and Markie, we've even babysat her a couple times. We are so happy to have such an awesome little niece.

This is just hours after she was born, we couldn't believe how tiny and beautiful she was, (and still is).

I help her stop crying and rock/pat/bounce her to sleep. We tilt our heads the same way, haha!

Baths are her favorite, and they are my favorite too because she is so happy! She just talks away and that's usually when I see her smile the most. Markie and Tristan are the best at getting her to smile though.

Andrew is really great with Ellie too, she looks so tiny when he holds her. She drools or spits up all over him sometimes, but it never bothers him. She also loves to kick those tiny little feet, it's so stinkin' cute.

I was so happy that my family was able to come to Idaho and visit! It was a bit of a change for them because there was snow everywhere! 

My little sister Stevie and I in the snow. She was hoping for snow every night because she loved it so much, but it's not always so much fun for the people who live in it.

Andrew and I right after Ellie's baby blessing. 

Andrew and I with the Turner's, the Purcell's, and the Hadley's. They're awesome.

I made banana bread for the occasion. This was my first solo attempt at banana bread, I've made a lot of zucchini bread, but it's not the same. It turned out well, even my mom and dad liked it!

Stevie stayed the weekend with Andrew and I at our apartment. She's the best. And she painted my toe nails! I love her creativity, anything I can think up, she'll try. 

Our family went to Craigo's Pizza while they were here. It's one of our favorite places to eat in Rexburg, but then again, there aren't many choices. But even Ellie likes it there! Why is it so good? Because of their dessert pizza!

This is the raspberry pizza... it's my favorite. Second is the oreo pizza. Favorite part of this picture... the side of Andrew's face. 

And his full face... He always looks so good.
