Donuts

Yum, we can’t get donuts like this in New Zealand.  Granddad took Ellie and Cooper on a mission to get donuts for breakfast their first morning in the states.  They each picked out the ones they wanted and then picked a few for Mummy and Daddy!

Christmas Again

Ellie was very excited she was going to see her cousins again for her 2^nd Christmas celebration.  She was all dressed up in one of her new Christmas outfits (Thanks Victoria!) and ready to open more presents.  She did really well the whole night even though she has barely slept for the last 24 hours.

We made it!

After a very busy New Zealand Christmas day, the kids were ready to start celebrating their 2^nd Christmas day!  Here they are eating their first snacks at Grandma’s house.  I remembered taking a picture like this when Ellie first came to the US in 2008 and I have included that one as well.
