We had a great Christmas - we are so blessed! Here is a short video of Elyse and Andrew on Christmas morning. Santa scored big with our kids by giving them both a pillow pet!

Father/Daughter Winter Ball
A local organization sponsored the Father/Daughter Winter Ball. When I heard about it I asked Elyse if she would want to go with Jeff and her answer was a resounding yes!
When she got home from school on Friday, we painted her nails and while her nails were drying I curled her hair. Then we put on her Christmas dress and she was ready for the ball! She was so so excited especially when she found out at school that her friend Maura was going to be there too!
Here they are all ready to go to the ball.
It was at a country club in Saugatuck and Jeff said it was a beautiful setting. As they walked in they had a professional photographer that took their picture. Their picture turned out super cute!!! He was also taking pictures throughout the night but the last time I checked they were not posted on the website yet. They had punch and then sat down for dinner. Jeff said they had little cards on the table with questions for the dad's to ask their daughters and for the daughters to ask their dads. Jeff said Elyse was really into asking and answering the questions! They had a speaker and some local ballet dancers did a couple of dances. Then it was time for the dads and daughters to hit the dance floor! Jeff said it was packed and everyone was having a great time! Here is a picture of Elyse with her friend Maura.
And no evening is complete without dessert! Elyse loved the chocolate fountain - here she is digging into a chocolate covered marshmallow - yummy!
Elyse is already making plans for next year (and was already talking about how she was going to put the picture of her and daddy from each year into a scrapbook - that's my girl!) - I'm sure Jeff will gladly take her again - they both had a great time!
