From Upland to St. Louis...

Every year our family decorates cookies and they get voted on several different things! Erin and Ann usually win the "good" awards! And Billy and Ben win the most cookies made, 1st eaten, etc.! We had fun once again! Thanks for this tradition mom and dad!
Uncle Ben is playing with Elliana!
We went to the zoo to have a fun play time in this room where they had all sorts of fun things to do! The girls loved it as well as Grampy/Papa as you can see!
Fun with dressing up!
A little winter wonderland!

Playing in the sand box!
Please let me in to go play!
Let us in!! It looks sooo fun!
Trying to get a good one of all the kiddos (pretty much impossible)

Essenburg Family Christmas Picture! (believe me this was a challenge!)
Elliana LOVED sitting in Landons bathtub...it was pretty cute!
Grammy and the girls made a Gingerbread Rice Krispie House together...the funny part was that Clare actually tried to decorate it and every candy Clare put down Elliana would pick it up and eat it! It was really really funny! Clare you are such a good sport!
Grammy's 1st Grandson!
Just being funny with Grammy & Grampy/Papa!

What a happy, beautiful family you have! We appreciate all the pictures of your Christmas! What a precious time. And what fun you all had! How I wish we could see each other. Maybe we can make it happen someday!

I love Elliana'a outfit with the polka dots. You totally outdid yourself. : )

You look amazing, Ann! Can't wait to see the bump! Praying that God continues to watch over you, and your precious, growing baby.

Much, much love.
