Few things make me happier than when Sara and Ellie are back in Montana. The past week and a half we all were together laughing, talking, playing, bonding, visiting friends and family. Did I mention laughing?!
Addison and Ellie were very sweet most of the time. They picked at each other more than they ever have. The majority of the time they played together nicely, but there were several sister-like fights. They big thing for both of them to say was, "Why are you
ignoring me?"
Auntie Sara finally had Landon in her arms and rarely was without him! It was the first time Ellie met Landon and she was instantly in love with him.
Sara and Ellie stayed two nights with us in Helena then we all (minus Dylan) headed to Missoula for about a week.
{Sara & I took the below images. We mix our pictures together at the end of our trips. It is hard to give credit for each picture}

We went sledding with Papa at Miller Creek. The snow was so hard, but we had fun watching Ellie snowboard on a snowboard and Papa snowboarding on a sled!

We watched cousin Riley play hockey and then went to Rick and Shell's house for ribs, hot tubbin' and watching video of Rick's medical mission trip to Columbia! Landon loved all the action of the hockey game and the girls loved watching the Zamboni shine the ice!

I like the changes to your blog! I may have to follow suit and make some changes myself!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to spend time with my family this April. It'll be fun to introduce Dillan to my sisters. I expect the same loving embraces for him that your little guy got from your sister!
I borrowed a few layout ideas from your blog. I hope you don't mind. If you do, please let me know and I'll make immediate changes. :)
