HAPPY...HAPPY ...TWO YEARS OLD!

AREN'T THOSE EYES JUST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES!  OH AND THAT HAIR...SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND  SWEET.  WE LOVE HER SOOOOOOOO MUCH!

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR ELISE TO BE ONE OF THE BIG KIDS.  SHE LOVES TO JOIN THEM IN WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING, AND SHE LOVES TO HAVE THEM WITH HER.  IT IS GOOD THAT ELLIE IS STILL HOME WITH HER, AND NEXT YEAR SHE ( LYDIA) WILL BE A LITTLE OLDER SO SHE WON'T BE ALONE.

THIS PICTURE IS OF ELISE AS A BABY....NOW SHE IS A BIG GIRL AND LYDIA IS THE BABY.  WE CAN SEE THE REASON TANNER IS STARTING TO FEEL "GIRL TRAPPED".  TOMMY CAN SYMPATHIZE .  OH BUT WHAT A GREAT TIME THESE GIRL'S WILL HAVE TOGETHER.  LOTS OF ESTROGEN IN THEIR HOUSE!

HERE IS SWEET ELISE OPENING AN EARLY PRESENT WHILE SHE WAS HERE.  OH HOW WE WISH WE COULD POP IN FOR HER BIRTHDAY (AND ALL OF THE GRANDKID'S BIRTHDAYS).  SHE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART AND SHE HAS LEARNED TO GO WITH THE FLOW.  SHE SLEEPS IN THE CARSEAT OR STROLLER IF NEEDED.  SHE DOES CUTE DANCES, AND HAS THE CUTEST VOICE.  SHE IS VERY GOOD AT LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT SHE LIKES AND WANTS....WITHOUT THROWING A FIT.  SHE IS A GOOD LITTLE EATER AND SITS IN HER HIGHCHAIR AND LIKES TO EAT WITHOUT HELP.  SHE DOES LIKE TO PLAY WITH HER FOOD, AND I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN SOME PICTURES OF HER WHEN SHE WAS FINISHED EATING (WHEN WE WERE THERE), BUT I WAS ALWAYS IN A HURRY TO GET HER WASHED OFF.  SHE HAS AT LAST REACHED THE AGE WHERE SHE REALLY DOES LIKE ME AND WANTS TO BE WITH ME UNLESS GRANDPY BRIBES HER WITH GOING OUTSIDE.  IT IS HARD FOR ME TO COMPETE WITH "OUTSIDE".
SHE IS PETITE AND DARLING, AND HER HAIR IS SO LONG.  IT REALLY IS AMAZING.  SHE LOVES TO PUT THINGS IN HER HAIR....AND IN MY HAIR (SHE LIKES TO DRESS ME UP TOO) AND OF COURSE I LOVE IT.  WHAT A PRECIOUS PRINCESS SHE HAS BECOME.  WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER SWEET ELISE AND WE ARE ANXIOUS TO SEE YOU IN DECEMBER.  WE MISS YOU AND HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS FULL OF FUN!
