Happy 2009!

I'm walking, so look out!

Help me!

This is what my sister does to me.

Daddy had to work so we celebrated the new year at home

and called him to wish him a Happy New Year.

Grandma came over and joined in on the fun.

She did a good job with them.

This year Ellie decided it was ok to sit on Santa's lap,

as long as she got a present.
