ELISE!!!

Wow! What a year! Here we are at Elise's First Birthday and I am shocked!

Elise has been such a joy this past year. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and apart of our family. I am so thankful for this smiley, happy little one. She has stolen our hearts in so many ways!

I am looking forward to this next year with our little girl and I know it will be even better than the last!
