{Family}

Here are some pictures with Ella's extended family. They were taken a couple weeks ago when we were up north. Ella was definitely in the spotlight up there. ;)
Here she is with my Uncle David. It took a few times of being around him over a few days for her to even allow him to pick her up and hold her. So, this was HUGE. Look at their hair, too! :) Ummm.... .maybe Ella gets it from him!

Again, this also was HUGE that she let my Uncle Don hold her. She's met him a few times and whenever he asks her something, she hides behind me and says, "NO!" So, he likes to tease her now and he does it before she gets a chance to. :) "NO!"

And finally... she's coming back around to Papa. :) She recently went through some stage where she did NOT like my dad. It was the same thing, "Ella, can I have a kiss?" Ella: "NO!" What a stinker. She used to LOVE her Papa SO much and then was scared of him and now she's back in Papa mode. :) (Yes Mom, she LOVES her Nana, too) :)

I love this picture. When Ella puts her head on your shoulder, you know she truly adores you.

And here's Ella with my beautiful cousin, Heather. So, it's Ella's 2nd cousin. These two really love each other- right from the start! :)


And here's Ella with my cousin, Rusty. This picture pretty much says it all. This is how all our little girlies look at Rusty. :) They LOVE him.

(P.S. He's single. Any takers??) :)

And here are my uncles, aunt, grandma and Dad. All the brothers and sister. Such a great picture.

I only whipped out my camera the first night we were there at dinner. So, I'm missing lots and lots of other family members. I will be sure to get more of them to post.
