Happy New Year

Happy New Year! We have had quite a good year and were sad to see it come to an end, but are excited for what is in store for us in the new year! We had a great New Year's Eve celebration with friends at our house. We were up until about 1:30am or 2:00am (this is quite different from our usual nights and we can't believe we made it that long)! This night was no different for Elli....she was in bed by 7:15pm and up by 8:30 in the morning. So....needless to say we were exhausted the next morning, but it was definitely worth it!

The weather was so nice on Friday so we decided to let Elli roam around for a bit outside. She LOVED it! This was her first time walking outside and she enjoyed exploring! She had a little difficulty walking downhill, so we had to move her to an even ground. She wasn't very happy with us when we took her inside and wanted to be out for as long as possible. We're pretty sure our spring/summer will include many trips to the park and ice cream shop (she also downed my ice cream from mcdonalds...grrr....I knew I should have gotten a bigger size)!

So happy to be outside!!

"How big is Elli" SOOO Big

So....she's making a scary face here, but I had to post it....look at those teeth! She's getting them so quickly I'm losing track of how many she has. At least 4 on top and 1 on bottom.

I haven't posted a picture of this little beauty in a while. She's such a good dog!!

Elli is growing so quickly! Last year at this time, I was wishing away the month of January....hoping I'd go into labor. This year I find myself wishing the month would go slow. I'm not quite ready for her to be a year yet....just seems way too old!

We are seeing more of her personality each day. Along with this personality we've seen a bit of an attitude....ugh! This girl knows what she wants and will let you know when she isn't happy! Regardless....she's still pretty cute :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are looking forward to an equally exciting year!
