Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Ann took off to California for a few days to visit Crazy Uncle Mark and to warm up a bit while CeCe and her dad got some quality time together. Here is a great pic of the big leprechaun before going out to play for the evening. Thanks Mark for being such a great host! It was just what the doctor ordered to help me survive until Spring!

Happy Birthday Grandma Pat!

We celebrated Grandma Pat's birthday on the Saturday before her birthday with Jeannie, Brian, and Arick adding to the regular group of partiers at the Elliott's. CeCe was so excited to have so much attention that at one point she spun herself right into the fireplace! (sometimes I am glad to have witnesses to all of her falls - she looks like a war victim sometimes!) You can see the before and after pictures from the accident. Happy Birthday Grandma Pat! We love you!

A Busy March Weekend



CeCe had a lot of adventures this long weekend. We started off on Thursday with an adventure trip to the airport. The plan was to try to make it to Grandma and Grandpa Elliott's down in Arizona, but all of the seats were full - apparently everyone wants to get out of the cold. We were disappointed not to be able to make it down there, but had an exciting time watching airplanes and people. It won't be long before Grandma and Grandpa will be back in the area, so we look forward to catching up with them then.
Friday, Mark was off from work and the family decided to go to Owatonna to check out an indoor water park. It took only about two hours to completely exhaust Cecelia - she had a blast! We also stopped in Cabella's for an "animal show" (stuffed animals - it's a hunting store) and had dinner while we were there too. It was a fun way to pass a grey Minnesota day.

Saturday and Sunday were spent with the Millers in Center City. CeCe and her cousin Morgan had a great time together goofing off and the adults had some fun too since Morgan's Grandma Rose was nice enough to come over to babysit Saturday night. Here is a little video of the fun and a couple cute pictures too from the weekend.
