5 Years of Blogging!

 5 Years and 500 posts!!! I have been blogging for 5 years, I cannot believe it! 


Life has changed so much in the past 5 years!

Meet Princess Adalyn :)

painting her nails and putting her lipstick on. :)


This was one of those moments I will always remember. Adalyn wanted to dress up like a princess, she walked around in her heels for the first time, got all pretty and couldn't wait to show Daddy. :)


These are from when we first put the Vanity in her room. She was very excited. 

Goodnight Princess!

Taking photos for Sweet Embraces. :) 

Had to get one of my cute little guy, who was busy helping me get Adalyn to smile and look where I wanted her too. :) He is such a good helper.

Christmas Celebrations


Our Christmas 
These are very forced smiles by three anxious little ones waiting to open presents!! 
Can you hear me, "One good picture and we'll open presents!" :)




Greg's Christmas Present. 

Greg got me an embroidery machine for Christmas. :)) 

Christmas Morning, Santa came!





The Extended Ellis Christmas
Grandma & Grandpa checked out the main dining room for our family at Tea Thyme in Fort Dodge. 
They brought us out these adorable little tea sets for the girls. 
It was so fun!! I don't know who loved it more, the girls or Michelle and I. :)


They match! And we didn't even plan it! 

(Thank you Michelle for all the great photos at the Tea Room. 
The blurry ones of just Adalyn are mine. I forgot my camera.)
The boys had all kinds of fun at Fort Frenzy. 


It was pretty late by the time we got done with dinner so it was cuddle time. 
We got to have a very special mass at Grandma & Grandpa's 
house by Father Larry. 
The priest who married Greg & I. It was very special! 
Luke was an alter boy for the first time, we were so proud until we found out after that he whispered to Father half way through Mass, "Are we about done?!" :) That's Luke for ya!

All three of our little ones cooperated for the Nativity this year. Our little Shepard and his flock. :)

This picture cracks me up!! 
Adalyn was so FREAKED out when Santa showed up at the end of the Nativity. 

The Ellis Christmas

Dancing with Papa, melts my heart. 



We had our Christmas Dinner at the Iowa Stater. 
We had the whole restaurant to ourselves, it was really nice. 

It was so fun to watch the girls play together. 

Goodnight my love, Merry Christmas. 
The Buse Christmas 


Look at all those cuties, yeah Greg too!! 

Presents!!! 


Game Time! 

I Love this one! Boys! 


Hot Cocoa!! Yum! 


We had a wonderful Christmas, celebrating with our loved ones. 
Followed by a couple of weeks of us all getting sick but that's done and it was a wonderful Christmas!! :) 
I am always so relieved to have this post under by belt,  I love to have it to look back on but there are SOOO many pictures! It's a nice problem to have though, so many loved ones to get photos of and special moments to capture. 

Hope your New Year is off to good start, Happy 2015! 

Outtakes!! :)
Have a great weekend!
