We started the year with a nature walk and visit to the horses at Lake Quivira.
We went to Springfield for Grandma Charlotte's memorial service. It was such a sad day but we enjoyed being together with family. Ryan especially liked meeting big Ryan.
Ellie and Ryan loved playing with Harper.
These two were so good on the long drive to and from Springfield.
On the way home, we had lunch in Quincy with Grandma Susie, Uncle Brent, Tom and TK.
We opened Christmas presents at Noni and Papa's. Ellie loves the Frozen castle they gave her.
Our neighbor, Charlotte, let Ellie try out her sled.
We had a ball at Baby Amelia's first birthday party.
Ryan loved Amelia's grandpa.
The most interesting baby in the world.
A real life digger was working right outside our house. Ellie watched for almost an hour.
We celebrated Noni's birthday! Ellie chose the card and gifts herself and painted special pictures to go with them. She was so excited to give them to Noni.
Little man started swim classes at Emler. He loves the water.
Ellie built the first snowman of the year.
We had a fun weekend with Grandma! Brunch at Lake Quivira was the highlight for Ellie.
Ellie's teacher sent us this picture of her working hard at school. We are so proud of our preschooler.
Love those big blue eyes.
Ellie's school had a big Chiefs celebration and Chris got to go party with her for a bit. He said she was tearing up the dance floor.
Ryan is loving his Wednesdays at Noni's house. Ellie is envious but we keep reminding her she got to do the same when she was a baby.
