Elise sat still on the chair in my bedroom for exactly two and a half minutes this morning so I could attempt to take birthday pictures of her. My original plan was to get her all dressed up in her Christmas dress, blow dry her hair, and all that good stuff. But as a mom of four, you learn to be real flexible really fast. Right at this moment, she was in a great mood and had one of her birthday outfits on so-plans changed! After the two and a half minutes, she was off and running with the pack again. I feel lucky they turned out as cute as they did. Happy birthday, Elise-We love you! 
This is one of the cute shots of Elise with her Lambie. Just for nostalgia, I included a picture of her at four weeks with the same lamb-she's actually smaller than it is! Time really does fly-they're not lying! We had a fun birthday party for Elise. I can't imagine our family functioning without her. She is definitely one of the crew, and feels just as big as everyone else. :)
