The Gilmores at Gussettville

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas! Ella had so much fun stealing Carrigan's gifts but now that we are home she is loving HER gifts!!! Mickey and her baby doll have been big hits!

Schlitterbahn Christmas

We had a blast with the Fohn, Thoms, and Allen families when we went to Schlitterbahn to see Santa, lights, the carousel, and enjoy some good ol' hot chocolate! Ella was a little bit afraid of Santa...maybe she won't scream in Santa's lap next year!

Totally in love...

"Perhaps there is nothing in this world as powerful to break selfishness as is the simple act of looking at our own children. In our love for them we are given a privileged avenue to feel as God feels - to burst in unselfishness, in joy, in delight, and in the desire to let another's life be more real and important than our own. " Ronald Roheiser

Have I told you all lately how much I am in love with this little human being?!? People told me before having Ella that my life would never be the same. They were so right....and what wonderful changes she has made in our lives!

So much to be THANKFUL for....

Erin & Clay's new home!


We are so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful family and friends! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with everyone! Of course too much good food! I think I gained 10 pounds! WOW!
