Princess Fairy

Ellie's new favorite thing is to play dress up by wearing her pretty princess fairy wings. It is absolutely adorable! Ellie went to her friend's birthday party last weekend and the theme was a princess fairy tea party...so so cute! That is where she got her wings. Ellie will bring them out to me and then hold up her arms so I can put them on her. I guess I'm going to have to start looking for little dress up clothes for her. :) Here are some pictures of our little fairy......My 1 1/2 year old is growing up waaayyy too fast. :(

Sweet Girl!

Ellie talks all the time, and she talks in her own language which sounds a lot like Japanese, so we never really know what she is saying. It is really funny to hear though! But she is now starting to say more words that we can actually understand or at least have a chance at figuring out what she is trying to tell us, so we're having fun with that! Here is one of those times. :)



and here is her normal talk... ;-)

Sumner Family Christmas!

This last weekend, Jeremiah's family came to our house to celebrate Christmas and Chelsea's birthday! We were supposed to fly down 2 weekends ago to my mother-n-law's house and have an early Christmas there with her side of the family, but unfortunately Ellie got really really sick and we had to cancel our flights and stay home. We were so bummed because we were really looking forward to going down south to see our friends and family. After a week and a half of having a very sick baby, Ellie finally started to feel better and get some energy back and her appetite came back as well. So the family decided it would be better to travel up north to our home just in case Ellie was still feeling kind of yucky. It was so fun to have everyone here altogether for once!!! That rarely happens these days, so we were very grateful for that!
Here are a few pics from the weekend. We finally got a family picture, Yay!... but most of the time, the cameras (especially Nana's and Auntie Chelsea's) were busy taking pictures of little Ellie belly who stole the show the entire weekend. :-)
We love you Jan, Chelsea, Shayna and Kevin. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
